It seems a decent engine - Merc 25hp Bigfoot, so it's not an ancient 2stroke.

Thanks for your advice. By the sounds of it, it's not a problem - If the boat is offered at the right time, it does seem a good option.

Ok, so upgrading isn't really a problem either then....

I think it sounds fine, certainly for a first boat and just casual cruising.

Would it be easier buying...

25hp/4.3m Humber Assault - Powerful enough?

Very close to buying first boat - Will i regret a buying 4.3m with only a 25hp?

Will just be used for cruising with a couple of people, family etc. No more than four people.

I understand what you're getting at but it's cool, i don't think there's much of a problem at the club. There's plenty of options, and if all else fails, i'll just borrow a car :)
