Thank you all for your replies. It's useful to hear what 'old pros' have to say and, yes, Neil2, I think that is a good point - we should look beyond the hull and focus on the boat itself. It is so easy to get into the frame of mind that we are being pulled over the table and sold a boat that is not up to scratch. However, having seen many rust buckets on the canals recently, it seems that even the worst hulls do actually float. Anyway, the Burscough boat turned out to be not what we were looking for - so the search continues!

Just reading this 3 years later as we are interested in a Burscough boat (second hand) but have never heard of them. I wonder if you were happy with your choice in the end? Any advice about the quality of boats made by Burscough would be helpful. Thanks!

We are just starting to lok for boats and have seen a couple made by Burscough. Does anyone have any idea about whether they are good builders? We have been told so many times to go for Tyler Wilson, Steve Hudson, Bourne and avoid Liverpool boats but have never heard anything good or bad about Burscough. Any information/pointers anyone could give us would be welcome. Thank you!
