Simple things in life please me We have never hired from UCC but I always admire their boats as they go by. They havea pleasingly traditional look (some, I believe, are 20 or so years old), and some of them even have delightful-sounding Norwegian Sabb engines.

Ours did and, I know what you mean about their sound And the forward and reverse lever seperate to the throttle Felt like you were on a real boat (if you know what I mean) We loved the trip Even though it rained most of the time Definitely worth a look
