Caw722 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Good afternoon all, just joined the forum so thought I'd make a quick introduction. I am Paul, and I currently live in Hull but moving back up the the North East region in the not to distant future (house sale depending) Looking at buying my first boat in a few weeks and running it out of either Hartlepool or Seaham depending on mooring fee's and availibility. I hope to be able to tap into the knowledge and experience I'm sure the group has. thejollysinker, Dicky, Malc and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caw722 Posted Friday at 03:59 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:59 PM Not quiet sure what sort of boat yet, I've looked at Colvic's seaworkers & Aquabelle sports, joined here to get some advice and see what others are running. I've got about a £20k budget (wife permitting). I've spent a fair amount of time on Find a Fishing boat so I am narrowing it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not endorsing speed merchants but a 6knot plodder will get tiring real quick, just ask @mike farrants (although he'll never admit it). mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caw722 Posted Friday at 07:52 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 07:52 PM Hence the reason I joined this group and chucked it out on the forum that I am looking at buying a boat, so I am open to advice, I want something with a comfortable spacious wheelhouse (seating for others, cooker area, good storage etc etc) and enough deck area for 4-5 people, inboard engine. Certainly don't want a plodder so chip in with any suggestions. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted Friday at 09:56 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:56 PM Is this a good bench mark?? https://www.rightboat.com/boats-for-sale/fishing-boat/27-ft-27e5dae1-a785-4dd3-94c2-7725d7f17b27/rb560026 daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted Friday at 10:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:22 PM Sounds like you'd be looking for a semi-displacement hull, rather than a displacement hull such as the Colvics then. These tend to have speed and stability together. Saintly Fish and daio web 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
