Thanks for that,yes that's worth remembering!

Young Dan Brown ,of YouTube notoriety. His tale of buying his latest boat, Ables Ark springs to mind. I believe he went in with a substantially low offer for that boat and was pleasantly surprised

to get a phone call some weeks later,accepting his offer.

Thanks Sam,I've cancelled viewing on Sun.

Valuable advice I think.

I will strike them off my list of possibles.

There seems to be a big difference between boats above and bellow 30k on the market! Think I will take my time and look at as many boats as needed. Also found that an early 90s boat ,may be in far better condition through care/ maintenance/ updating etc,than say a 2005 boat,that has been neglected or just sat on shoreline from New!

Still lots to learn I think before I part with my cash.

Thanks again,all the best

Jon.

Hi there,looking to buy my first boat and viewing this weekend.

Going to see a Liverpool Boats 45 ft cruiser ,with a Lombardini 1202 linked to a Technodrive box.

Have been told to be careful with the above mentioned ,depending

on year built relating to the hull I think!

Any advice on this please?

Also,is it true that Technodrive gearboxes can be troublesome?

Many thanks

Jon.
