Dudes, have none of you guys brought a boat on impulse?! It surprises me, majority of my life is based on it haha and btw I'm not minted by any means i just know how to do as little research as possible so as not lose money when re-selling. As long as others aren't at risk by my actions, I tend not to do a years research before a venture.
Anyway, my brain is fast absorbing your wealth of info so thanks to all who haven't prescribed to the conspiracy that I'm a robot sent by mothership to play pranks on boat forums.
Questions: Mike you mention the size of UK canals which I already know, if I were to purchase the Birchwood 25 would that massively restrict my routes then? I like the idea of mooring on Nottingham side of Leicester, I may even look at Nottingham marines.
Also the survey sounds like a must, I was hoping to make acquaintance with a local expert before purchase anyway but where would I go about getting a survey?
