Stonepark Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Have a look at Highlander family fisherman, can be handled by 1 person if required, can be picked up 2nd hand for reasonable price, they also quite often do show deals on new.

TONY R Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 We had an orkney longliner they are 16ft a bit short most say you need at least a 17ft for esturies the sea etc, but we did ok with ours never had a problem. we now use a 14ft will 14ft 6 acctualy nordic boat similar to the longliner slightly narower slightly less stable perhaps but again its ok. outboards well i like yamahas and ols seagulls ,. not for any real reason other than ive always been a yamaha motorcycle fan, so go with their outboards too, seem pretty good. as for the seagulls well not really big enough but they are reliable and work with the tide a bit or as a back up they are good enough.

Bazooka Joe Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 EBAY 302048153731 Plenty left in your budget to get a new 4 stroke, 9.9 would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't say less about the boat if it tried. I have no idea how long it is, what model or anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe soapy Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 You always get 2 good days with a boat, tha day you buy and the day you sell. The days inbetween are often filled with frustrating and stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
