For sale sites

Hello

Still looking for that sports cruiser. I tend to look on Boats and outboards and Boatshed.com

What other sites do you all like to look at/use to buy or sell a boat

Regards

+1 what he said

And
Maybe for the sort of use you want Dennis some of the Thames brokers.
Also Brighton Boat Sales, Boatshop, Ancasta.
Most of the Yankee boats seem to have big petrol engines, for pottering the broads ideally a small diesel would suit but then you don't get the buzz of fast boating on the sea. I think this is why the Sealine 23/24/25s had a Kad32. Good for rivers and sea alike but mor economical on fuel, just doesn't have the shere power of a V8.

You had asked about fuel economy i.e. what you could currently get out of your boat, pottering around, against the consumption of a big V8 doing the same. Therefore, I have to add, in as much a I love the Sea Ray models especially the Sundancer, Sealine built their boats with an economical diesel engine. The interiors are similar although my preference would be the Sea Ray, but there's very little in it but, what would win for the Sealine 23/24/25 would be the useability and then the re sale value.

The Sealine 23/24/25 are the same boat but different production years.

If you are ok with a boat on the broads with a petrol engine, go for it. They are smoother, quieter and generally easier to fix. :)
