This is a new venture although we've hired cruisers on a couple of occasions in Holland and on the Broads. 15hp sounds a mighty engine. Presumably your boat is bigger than our 3.3 metres?

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Just out of interest, if one were to buy a larger vessel say a 21ft motor cruiser, are there stautory competances/licenses required to use it on British waterways?
