Hi John and Tina
You met the right guy at the London boat show, to sell you a boat. Obviously he is a sales person but Robin is a very straight honest nice person with it. We bought a 232 cuddy from Robin in April 06, this is our second boat from him and we are very delighted with her. We have always looked up and admired the cruiser section. But we would be over stretched financially as I have no desire for a loan.
We found that our berthing neighbours in Berthon Marina in Lymington, with there Sunseekers, Princesses and Fairline 50 footers, envy us small craft boats for nipping out across to the isles of Wight in a dash. They still use the same shower / toilet block as us at the marina, this save's them from having to wipe down the shower afterwards in there new boat. We have often offered other much larger boat owners a trip out in ours, thinking that they are just being polite for a quick morning or afternoon burn around.
They have all very much enjoyed the same fun as you were missing before. We have found everyone very polite and friendly to us regardless of there fantastic boats. They all loved the small boat feel, that they personnally experienced some years back. The convenience of anchoring close to the shore or finding a mooring in Yarmouth harbour for a bite to eat, in one of many pubs / restuarants. We do know of one such person who bought recently a 25ft rib with a 225hp Honda, just so he got the thrill of the wind and the sea spray in his face. He owns believe it or not a Sunseeker 47 Portofino. What does that tell you?
I'm sure you will re live the lost fun you once had. It sounds a very nice boat!
Regards Neil & Angela Koenig

Robin as a nice 'guy' and definetly not 'gut' as my typo. Sorry Robin.
