Help-advice-anything appreciated

[calico jack]

First post lads so a big hello from me.

i,m now in a position i can afford my first boat but not sure where to start i have little seamanship skills and tuition would have to be a must.I would prefer to have a berth at the royal quays or st peters basin as i don,t fancy trailing a boat about , looking for something in the arvor 190 style and would prefer to buy a half share off anybody who can show me the ropes or if anybody would like to buy a boat with me 50/50.Any advice anybody can offer will be greatley appreciated.

Welcome to NESA Jack.

Here's a couple of boat sales sites (just in case you aint seen them)

Boats for Sale - Findafishingboat.com

Boats for Sale, Used Boats for Sale, Motor Boats, and Narrow Boats for Sale, Chandlery, and Sailing Holidays

Boats For Sale (Fish/Work)

Nice Arvor 20 just sold for £14k, which in my case would just about be affordable, but I couldn't afford the marina fees.

Arvors are champion little boats, good on fuel and reasonable to buy, quite a few down at royal quays, if you fancy having a closer look at one then let me know...i've got an arvor 215

Hi there

Before making your mind up on marinas have a think about hartlepool marins as its a 2 thirds cheaper than the royal quays and that money will certainly buy a lot of fuel and its only about half an hour to the pool

this will give you more money to put into the boat
