    Hi all,

    I'm looking to purchase a boat over the coming weeks. Want to start small but would be nice if it would sleep 2.

    Anyone any recommendations on what to look for?

    Don't get one with holes in it.

    And don't let Billy Zane on it.

    Its AH here. Looking for a serious response here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Try another section of boards that deals with that sort of thing.

    2 happiest days of boat ownership, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Buy a tiger, they take less minding and are cheaper. I think the op thought this was boats.ie. Easy mistake to make. err, not. Maybe not the best navigator!

    But why would you ask for advice in a forum called 'After Hours'? Surely you'd go to the Sailing & Boating Forum first?

    It sure as hell ain't the boat forum.

    Your first clue should have been the lack of threads about boats, or usernames like "misterboat69" or "iluvoars."

    Buy a rib and stick about 6 100hp outboards on the back. Will do the job nicely :)

    Huh? If you want to do that, you don't need a boat. Just let the music flow from within you and let your body follow.

    This thread is way more fun than you could ever have on a boat.

    Sorry for confusion. I don't mean I want to dance on the boat. I meant I want to dance now.

    The boat is for recreational purposes.

    Nasty stuff

    You've been pointed to some better forums to go to, which you could easily have searched for yourself.

    Why are you still here saying horrible things, unless, as I suspect, you're a troll?

    Otherwise, you're just really frustrated about having to wait to dance on your boat.
