Hi all
As foreign holidays look to be possibly problematic for the foreseeable future man maths has prevailed
Started the search with £100,000 max budget
Told sleep Mr and mrs, sleep 2 kids, decent galley, lol and enough space to spend up two weeks on it.
A month of looking at old potentially ruinous 20 year old dogs we now have doubled the budget.
Have looked at swift trawler 42, grand banks 43 etc.

Does anyone want to sell off market. Ideally like post 2006 Volvo diesels. Don't want a beaten up under maintained relic.

Any ideas links gratefully received

Thanks

The new vat treatment isn't helping I spose there must be a few vat paid boats in the med. No idea what transport would come to

Brexit is a problem. Previously many UK people would have boats in the med or maybe but in Europe and bring back home. Now vat on current value has to be paid when you bring it in if UK vat wasn't paid when new. So a much I smaller pool of stock to buy from plus alot of people in the same boat (whoops) wanting a few weeks holidays away from the crowds

Offer in at asking on a grand banks. Too many buyers out there to bid on it.
