  15. Hi all I'm new to this site and this will probably be my 1st of many questions . We are looking at geting a wide beam boat made and becoming a Constant cruiser next year, at the moment we are looking at the Eurocuiser we have been told we should get a travel power installed at a cost of £3250.00, this seems a lot of money do I really need one ?? Thanks Dave
