I am looking to buy a fibreglass hull river boat, where in UK midlands/worcester can I get one CHEAP?

Question

I have about £900-£1000 to spend, and I will be using the boat on the rivers mainly, so I can get a large boat if possible. Where is the best place to look, and what should I look out for when buying a fibreglass hull?

thanks..

Answer 1

Try Smith&Deakin Worcester

if they are still going (20 Yrs away form Worc)

fibre glass moulders

used to be on tolladine road Worcester

try also lansdowne marina Worcester

Best of luck

Answer 2

There is a Marina at Upton on Severn - it used to be called Walton Marine, but I think one of the big Marina chains have taken it over.  Worcester has a Marina, too.

Another just outside of Bromsgrove on the Hanbury Road and one at Alvechurch, one at Evesham.

They all usually have a selection of boats for sale but I don't know if they will be cheap.

Try googling them just as "Marina - Worcester"

I don't know a lot about fibreglass hulls - try asking "Happy Murcia" who is second on the Leader Board; he is very knowledgeable about boats.

My boat is an aluminium hull, but that's big money.

Answer 3

try the chandlers in diglis basin, worcester. they have a boatyard next door and often have boats for sale advertised in the shop.also, upton marina, evesham marina,and there is also a boatyard in bromsgrove.
