Boat advice?

Funnily enough the wife said that we didn't have the room for a boat on the drive either......:rolleyes::D;)

Some marina's offer hard standing storage, with a slipway access.
It would mean you would have to launch it, but it might be the best of a bad job....

Other options are a car topper.
An ally boat or a smaller GRP, or what about a porta boat?


You can just slide them down the bank, load up and away you go....

You could look at an elecky motor and a leisure battery (I have one on my boat along with a 20hp 2 stroke), or a lightweight petrol.... but with the elecky one, no one can hear you sneaking about.....;););)

Just dug this link out....

Might interest you if you go down the porta boat rout

dont forget insurance steve, over half the boats on the thames cost well over £100,000, if your fishing on your own or with a mate and a boatload of drunks smash into you doing damage to their boat you may find your witnesses are well outnumbered + they,ll have adequate cover, be warned and cover it, its relatively cheap;)
