Hi Norman,

You can get some good tips from the forums at www.ybw.com, lots of friendly
folks there who are willing to help. www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk is a good
site for second hand boat buying.

Make sure you think very carefully about what you want to the boat for
(fishing, overnight stay etc), where you are going to keep it and how much
you want to pay.
