Default New Boat

Big day tomorrow.

Taking our prospective new boat out on a river/sea trial and then having the marine survey done.

Hopefully all will be good and then its just the small matter of exchanging contracts and the moving of our old boat (going in PX) and bringing the new one back to Acle Marina.
No small task as it's about a six to seven hour trip each way and due to the low bridges at Great Yarmouth we will have to time the tides to allow for both boats air daft

Good luck and watch those bridges, just watching some boat accidents on utube a few minutes ago. Bridges are not very forgiving
Was also looking at some of those super yachts, how the other half live or should I say how the 2% live.

I'll post more up shortly but I'm actually on our present boat at the moment and the internet is rather slow

They can quickly turn your boat into a convertible

At high water in Yarmouth there is only around 7'6" clearance and the Air Draft on the new boat is around 11'.

At low water slack there can be up to 13' at the bridges. It's quite a big tidal range there

That looks good Jeff. Have to admit I've never really been into boats, prefer ones large enough to have their own restaurant.
