Trento Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I know nothing of them, but if as I expect, their in the business for the long term, their boats will be of a design and quality suitable for then to sell for years to come. However, I cannot know what I dont know, This much I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-Chick-Chicken Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I thought they'd gone bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_fincher Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Certainly if you Google a firm trading under the name "Admiral Narrow Boats" shows as one that has gone into administration. Whether this has any connection with who you are talking about though, I have no idea, I'll admit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valderee Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I thank you for your replies, as I say I'm new to this and a friend said Admiral where good, but if they have gone bust I think I might try the next option which was also mentioned by a friend. It's a 60ft XRND which looks awesome from the pics with rivets and all manor of fancy stuff... If I'm going to invest I want to do so wisely...

Ally Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Have you looked at our boats? (if you want new build) all on xr&d shells. We have a gathering this weekend. I could arrange to show you round a couple or more if you pm me. (leicestershire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investment and boats do not go together, Invest does not mean buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
