YES i have to agree with you, i had GRP cruisers for 18 years, and found that we were looked down upon by other narrowboaters even thought they were classic cruisers and had been around longer that there floating show homes, i now am a narrow boat owner, but still lve to see the cruisers and feel they play just as important roll as any narrowboat, but at a fraction of the price, making this an enjoyable past time for oll, not just the well off.
