Andy135 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 @Jon cook, given that we'll be allowed to travel at the end of March, now would be a good time to start hitting the adverts and brokers in earnest, getting them to prioritize you as a motivated buyer before everyone else start thinking about buying a boat. First come first served and all that. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, just keen for you to find the right boat. 👍 Jon cook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon cook Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Fingers crossed restrictions are released. I'm a little more pessimistic about it all! 2 days of nice weather an its gone made down here - infection rates will soon go up again especially with schools opening back up. Anyhow, you're spot on with the suggestion. Alas it seems everyone wants a boat!! The demand seems to be outstripping the supply at the minute.

Jon cook Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Alas, not much has happened. Little movement especially after that Raider got posted up at silly money for an old boat so its potentially outta my price range now. All is not lost though..... no boat means the savings are getting bigger! I'm still looking, but not seeing much. There was a fair deal on an explorer elite but fear I'd soon be looking for bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 A shame but as you say, there's a silver lining to your bank balance at least. Keep looking. The right boat will be out there 👍 JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
