    Hello, I wonder if anyone could give me some feedback if they have had their boat blacked at Braunston Boats? I usually black myself, but happen to be moored nearby and they have available slots for blacking (but you can't do it yourself). Any feedback appreciated if you've experience of them, thanks

    Hi Froggy and Penfold, sorry for late reply, but haven't logged on for awhile. I ended up buying the boat I spotted walking along the towpath and got her keys last Saturday, so all very exciting! Thanks for asking

    Sorry everyone - to be honest I was trying not to confuse everyone with which boat/question/boatmaker I was referring to by listing them in different threads, but looks like I might have done the opposite. Good to know for the future and sorry if I made anyone feel deja vu as you've all been so lovely and helpful. I certainly would have not been able to navigate the boat buying mire without your help.

    Thanks everyone for your good advice. I just wanted to let you all know that I called and put an offer in and it was accepted :-) We both had a really good feeling about the boat and felt she was the right one for us. I've just got to find a place to get her surveyed and hopefully she'll be ours in a week or two!! Very excited! Thanks again for all your help :-)

    Thanks Athy, she did look good value for the money in truth, I think i might go in with an offer a little lower and see what he says

    Hello everyone, Thanks to you all for your help with my boat search so far. I went to see another boat today, who I'm rather taken with. I just spotted her walking along the canal and she was for sale, so had a look. She's a 58ft Paul Widdowson built in 2006, blacked last year with one owner at £36K. She only has one double berth (I really wanted two but she may be worth making the compromise for), a Beta marine engine which sounded and looked lovely and a 3000w Victron Inverter. She had LED lighting (no solar panels yet..), spray foam insulation and a diesel stove which was also connected to the radiators. She was very well maintained and comfy. The owner fitted her out (he is now a retired builder) and the carpentry was lovely inside (mainly ash with solid wood flooring). I think she might be a good deal and am thinking of making an offer on her, can any of you tell me what you might know of Paul Widdowson boats? I really liked the steelwork and shape of her. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks everyone for your help, I'll let you all know how the viewing goes tomorrow. I went to see another boat today, who I'm rather taken with. I just spotted her walking along the canal and she was for sale, so had a look. She's a 58ft Paul Widdowson built in 2006, blacked last year and one owner at £36K ONO. She only has one double berth (I really wanted two but she may be worth making the compromise for), a Beta marine engine which sounded and looked lovely and a 3000w Victon Inverter. She had spray foam insulation, a diesel stove which was also connected to the radiators. She was very well maintained and comfy. The owner fitted her out (he is now a retired builder) and the carpentry was lovely inside. I think she might be a good deal and am thinking of making an offer, can any of you tell me what you might know of Paul Widdowson boats? I really liked the steelwork and shape of her. I might also pop up a new topic to see what others out there think of the boat builder Thanks!
