as long as they keep the speed limit? 200 plus horses to keep undercontrol

hi can off shore cruisers go on the wide canals and rivers?

hi john i have visited all the boat builders in the north and i want a new 57ft narrow boat with a budget of 95k only me and my wife on board no kids etc.. i want a top boat with all mod cons and quality is very high on the list. the designs on the hulls that jonaton and pickwell do i like. louis showed us there show boat and we loved it but also liked pickwells quality too the only thing that put me off louis is they said we can have that boat copied and ready in 18 weeks, i thought that boat builders have waiting lists??? pickwell have a two year waiting list. which makes me think people are prepaid to wait for quality. i have gone on a bit but that is why i asking advice on the forum and help make my mind up. regards marc.

hi thanks for all your comments. a few comments look as if i want a wide beam, this is not true i am looking for a 57ft narrow boat. looks like jonathon wilson is looking the best? keep your views coming would like more info on pickwell and arnold thanks again marc

hi please could i have your comments on these boat builders. pickwell and arnold - jonathon wilson with louis and joshua fit out. which is best? which is more? current owners comments on service and build quality? paint finish? any improvements would do build design differently? thanks marc.
