Depends the sort of waters you’re on, but I wouldn’t advise anything smaller than a Florida, the hull shape and length isn’t lending itself for any waves/choppy water.Lovely - one day
Well it would be a Junior for me .....
Ariston is where it starts to make sense, though prices start to be a bit stiff.

By no means am I an expert of anything aquatic but aren't you supposed to be the other side of the windscreen?Mine

Thanks for the tips - my thoughts have been driven by price so far but it comes to looking seriously in 3 years or so I will have to research properly.
My plans would be include a trip to the Italian lakes but in the U.K. the Thames.

Popped the question on a Riva Aquarama on Como... wish I had popped her in the lake and saved a fortune.

I had an Audi 200 Quattro Turbo - water pump went, took it to Halfords (mistake) and they managed to test it and snapped the cam belt, they (sort of) fixed it bit lent me an Orion in the meantime, fecking thing was slow af and used more petrol than the Audi.
Halfords fooked the Audi, was never same after, used to suddenly rev up to max for no reason I suspect vacuum issue, should have took Halfords to the cleaners but I was young and naive....
But I never use Halfords.....

Reminds me of the first decent car I ever had - brand new company Ford Escort 1.4 (same colour) in about 1984 or 85. So neat and taut and clean! Couldn't bear to drive my own ratty Cortina XL to the scrapheap for weeks...
B374TKJ, I think...

Colleague of mine hit the big time when he qualified as an Accountant (Certified, not Chartered) and just about the same time as he passed his driving test, got a company car, a Vauxhall Carlton 2.0 GLi I think, not top of the range but not bobby-basic.
Shortly after he blew the engine on St Peters Way in Bolton (ironically the A666) by changing down from 5th not to 4th as he expected but to 2nd at about 70, of course the speed limit on St Peters Way is now 40 but wasn't then.
Head gasket gave up, but as it was a new car they just replaced it. It was brown tho....
