Getting a boat will be totally down to budget, but for something decent to fish 3 guys off will need to be around 18/20' so the marinas will be around 1400 to 3000 per year.

massive amount to consider heres a few random thoughts/ideas

size--for me nothing less than 20ft for north sea

inboard/outboard????--outboards are getting more reliable each year.

experience level of the 3 of you ??????? if none join a club,do a couple of charters,get some formal training under your belt,may seem expensive,but so are funerals.

make sure you have adequate maintainance to your vessel,get advice from coastguard on safety issues/equip

do you want a fast boat or an 8knot plodder????

boats are expensive,but but split 3 ways should be a big help the enjoyment levels are massive.

DONT go to the pub to discuss/make decisions/agreements

plan it,and you will be fine---enjoy

marinas are preferrable for security,but comes at a price theres a couple of clubs on tyne that i can think of--friars goose,and willington quay

if you go for 20ft plus, I would buy a boat with an inboard Diesel

slow is not necessarily good, because it takes you much longer to come back into harbour when the weather turns

Is that money to buy the complete outfit and include electronics and life saving stuff?

IMO i cant see you getting a 20ft boat for 4k, a small trailor boat maybe but i half decent inboard/outboard and your looking at 8k min i would say, i sold my Arvor 18 that was 12 years old for £10,400 with out the gps and life saver equipment.

The quick silver range say a small pilot house would be the closest to your money thou still a couple of ££K off.

BOAT= Bring Out Another Thousand


Best thing i have ever purchased on the flat days at sea with the sun beaming down, moeny drain during a long spell of bad weather ha
