I don't know if this is in the right category but can anyone recommend a good insurance company please. Thanks

Thanks for the message Terry, we've looked at a few and have been boating for quite a few years now so we, like you, know what we want and what works for us. We're sure that we will find something as we've just started to look in ernest, and we are prepared to compromise to a certain extent and we're not short of the skills to make alterations if necessary. We are enjoying the search but we're not in a hurry. Will let you know if we find something too cheap

Thank you everyone for your replies, some really good advice. We are definitely looking for second hand as we feel you get more for your money as the "extras" are already included. We are willing to compromise for the right boat and realise it's going to take a while to find that. Can anyone explain why Liverpool boats seem to be quite a bit cheaper than other makes please. thanks

Yes we've been looking on Apollo Duck every day for the last four months!!!!!!!!!! We're not far from Stourport and Droitwich. We are looking for a narrowboat not a widebeam. The budget is about 50k. We are looking on lots of different broker websites and other general on line sites. We know that often boats are sold before they are advertised hence the reason for the post to see if someone knew of one coming up. We're not really looking for a project. Thanks

Hello everyone, we are new to this website and we've found it very helpful. We have been boating for 10 years and feel that the time has come to get our own boat. We have been looking for the past 6 months and know what we want but haven't found what we are looking for yet. If we gave you an idea of what we would like maybe someone on here knows of a boat that would match please. This is our ideal boat, reverse layout, semi trad, 4 berth, 52-60ft long, not too worried about the age as long as it's in good condition. We would like portholes and bigger windows, cassette toilet, woodburner, central heating, 42 horsepower engine, 150 gearbox, You probably get the idea!! We are based in Worcestershire Many thanks Chris and Jenny
