    If you're referring to one of those flat bottomed aluminium things, then £1000 sounds far too much. They're shit.

    1000 sheets is rather a lot for something that sails like a skip.

    As above, flat bottomed boat on anything other than calm conditions is shite. Its flat bottomed purely to beach level on the sand and to get in close to shore.

    The OP might find it a good deal cheaper, and no less seaworthy, to see if there's a LWB Series III Land Rover hard-top on eblag.

    For about the same amount of time as a Mk5.
