You will probably be OK as some of the boats so described do get sold on fairly quickly. Always remember though that it's the attitude and knowledge of the boater that counts, not how shiny or how scruffy his/her boat is! Over the years we have met many nice people on boats old and scruffy and new and shiny..........but, if I'm honest, the arrogant nouveau-riche type do tend to be in the latter category ;-)) Roger
