Hahahaha, you're joking, we've got months of boat shopping to get through yet. I've already had two friends on the phone, sticking their oar (but not their money) in. One of them rang me three times, saying, "about that boat, I think you should ..." I'm going to see it with another friend this pm, one who has actually owned a boat. My two questions, given that it's a project boat, are:

• is it functional, if not, how much would it cost to get functional and it would it be better to pay the extra money for one that is already functional (taking into account transport costs etc) and
• what are the yearly running costs?
  But really, this is all about sitting in the pub afterwards and gossiping about it 😍
