Uttern Boats, good or bad?????

Hi, can any one tell me anything good or bad about uttern boats?
I’m looking at the s64!
They are part of the Brunswick / Marine Power Europe
Any one know anything?
Nick

Uttern boats have been on the market for very long time and are of good quality, have driven many of them although not this specific one, sure she is no exception to other Uttern boats.

You should also look at Askeladden 635 walkaround, www.askeladden.no Norwegian made boat, partly owned by Brunswick (Marine Power).

Hi Bogi, thanks for the feedback, had a look at one today looked good build! The only point against was I thought the lay up a bit thin, but then I'm use to my Osprey!

Hi Bogib

That Askeladden 635 WalkAround looks interesting with a good sized cabin and good seating, not too wide to tow either, and with a possible top speed of 55 knots what more could you want. Do you know if they have a UK importer?

Thanks Freddie

No UK dealer according to their web sit!

Bogi I was at ESSEX BOATYARDS Ltd to day, got the impression they are not doing very much with them, or it may be just the time of year!
