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, Andy135 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caw722 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 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 September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 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 September 13 Share Posted September 13 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 September 13 Share Posted September 13 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. daio web and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
