  1. Yes, I found pricing for new and fifteen year old plus ones. They're ridiculously expensive, I'm struggling to find where that value is in such a plainly fitted out craft. Circa $450k new $300k used, I really can't see where that value is, if it were all bespoke luxury inside, sure, but it looks like a relatively cheap hire boat to me. Even if it was super well built under all that marine plywood, I still don't see it.
  2. https://www.kuhnle-tours.com/boats-and-yachts/primus-kormoran/kormoran-1500/ This is an interesting looking boat. Anyone know anything about them? Thanks.
  3. Rewatching that episode it makes total sense that he couldn't pilot the boat!
  4. For sure, I'm beginning to get a feel for the benefits of research when it comes to choosing a boat. What would you suggest? Joe. P.S. honestly, if the interior steering position is useless it eliminates this boat from contention for me.
  5. Thank you everyone who have patiently answered my questions and tollerated my ignorance. I've learned more in the past couple of days than in months of watching youtube videos of boats going up and down on the Canal du Midi. Thanks man. You've opened my eyes to the fact that every boat is truly a compromise, and that's not just a cliche. Thanks.
  6. But just look how awesome they are inside! Bummer.
  7. Roger, I looked at a couple of videos and the layouts of these boats. It is disappointing to hear they are poor handlers, almost dangerous by the sounds of it. They literally check every box for me, aft private master cabin, multiple rooms for guests and conversion when it's just the two of us, and the aft deck with a steering position so you can watch the scenery go by. This is probably the layout I'd be looking for in a future boat.
  8. That sounds good but I think my wife and I are a bit too novice to commit to the big blue just yet. Thanks. Pretty boats, have you done that in the Cat?
  9. Nice, Alan, thank you. The air draft may be an issue though! Thanks for the info! Sounds like you really enjoyed the life there. And it sounds like Belgium and holland are the places to be looking for them. My wife's grandfather was all Kansas Dutch/German, the kind of man that waxed his tractor after ploughing the field. I'm sure those boats are well loved and cared for.
  10. That's a good idea and something I was considering. Thanks.
  11. I went back to the link and navigated my way out of the french landing page and found what you were directing me to, I think. Yes there are some good boats on there, Thank you. Thanks, good to know.
  12. Thanks, good to know. We are a couple of years away from committing to anything yet so I have a lot of research to do. We were supposed to be on the french canals for out twentieth anniversary next week but that's not happening obviously. Bummer.
  13. I signed up for it and yes, that was the issue, great resource, thanks for the help. Joe.
  14. Thanks, why have the boats stopped coming down from holland?
