As DC implies they are the best boats money can buy, obviously. Whey should they be any different to all the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, are they any good ? Unfortunately the thread was derailed early on by a pointless and totally irellavent reference to the fact that they paint their name on the boat. Like some other builders do. That seemed to set the trend for the rest of the thread. I guess by default the fact that there seems to be a lack of horror stories about build quality and finish its reasonable to assume they are a decent boat. This doesnt apply to all builders.

Only caveat to my request: I’ve heard all the Eton Mess gags that I need to, thanks. I have not got one myself but I know two boats and their owners and been on their boats. I like both of them they seem good value to me in comparison to other builders. Both owners really like their boats and one has had theirs for nearly 10 years. I guess you cannot expect all the bells, whistles or traditional features of some builders but what you do get seems well executed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have already since this but worth a look if you have not.

No they still have it. You must be thinking of someone else. Sorry, I see you have already realised and corrected yourself.

Norm55 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Just picked up my new Elton Mos / Northwich Boat Company NB from Kings Lock this week and delighted with it so far. Ok, yes have only done 7 hours.... Two months late but guess thats normal in todays world and a few things to go on snagging list but no quibbles when i raised them. Overall finish is good a few comments but PM me if you are considering one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
