It sounds great to me

 

Sounds about as appealing as a colonoscopy.

Get a camper van instead.

 

a much better idea, campers are great. Just drive into the middle of nowhere and chill out with most of the comforts of home.

 

Make sure you have a place to moor before you buy a boat

 

Don't forget to fill up.

 

Unless you’re spending plenty of money, swerve the idea, you’ll end up with a crate that costs a mint to moor and is about as appealing as a day out in the bucket of a dumper truck.

 

It's a ****ing daft idea. A money pit..

 

Had a pal many years ago who bought a fair sized boat.He spent **** loads of money and all his
spare time for about 3 years working on it.When finished he was trying to get it on the river at
Greenwich somewhere.Anyway,somehow the ****ing thing toppled over and killed him.
Absolute truth.

 

I had a boat.
A sailing boat.
My advice
Don’t buy a boat

 

Work out how much it's going to cost you.

Then work out how many nights you could stay in a fancy hotel for the same amount of money.

Then book that many nights in the fancy hotel, staggered over a few years.

Once all the money has gone you won't have to pay to moor a boat you've learned to hate.

You'd probably end up torching it for the insurance money and spend three years in the big house.

 

There are other issues to consider as well:

^^^^^^^^^^^lives in Indonesia, therefore is a boat person.

 

And if you still want to recreate the aquatic experience ask for the room with the water bed.

If you are looking for a good dinghy, I can help you out bro.

Starting price is £5,000 or you can upgrade to the deluxe version which includes a nice shiny life jacket for 6k.

Payment is in cash only, there are no refunds and failure to pay results in death no goods.

The only regs or rules you need to remember, is if you ever get stopped by customs is to just ask for the police and state you are Iranian.

Please PM me if i can assist you further
