Title: MFB BOAT WANTED
Post by: 148148 on July 12, 2009, 23:18:35 CET
I am looking for a licensed MFB boat around 30 Ft or less. I have seen several today and the amount of money the skips want for the crap they have is shameful.  Not concerned of condition or engines as 1 uncle is a marine mechanic the other a boat builder so they will be able to check them out for me. Not concerned of where it is moored, prefer something with some deck space for pots, looking at 2000 Maltese Lire but will go up to 4000 maltese Lire if the boat is worth it.  Please email me with pictures of the boat or location so I can go have a look at it.
Cheers Nick

there is plenty of them, saw 4 today in m'sloxx ranging from 1500 ML to 5500 ML from what I saw today I would rather pay 7000 ML and have something superb and ready to go, one boat today was steered by a metal pole 10 meters away from the throttle

148148 If i were you i'd check about getting a new mfb permit ;)

And in that case youi are able to make a new boat. forget buying something close to 30 ft having and mfb permit with those prices my friend ;)

What you did not mention is whether you are looking for wood or fibreglass boats
