I've heard the owner is set in old fashioned ways.

Indeed. As well as the brewery he also owns a number of properties which are rented out. I'm told he won't rent flats to unmarried couples.

Thank you that makes sence i looked at Black Prince they have none for sale but there are one or two on the internet but they are not direct fleet rather ex hire that have been in private hands a while 

Forget buying ex-hire for the time being and do a trawl through the hire fleet sites on line. They describe their boats - length and layout - and many include plans of the layout. This will give you an idea of what you can sensibly fit into a given length and stern type. They hire - if a layout does not work it will not make them money. If one works then they are more likely to get repeat business.

Much cheaper to decide your chosen layout/contents does not work while you are on the net rather than on board your new boat!!
