im looking for a shetland 535 or somthing similar , ive scoured the internet and every boat ive seen around my price range of about £2000 is way down south in places like devon and norfolk , i cant seem to find any in scotland , can anyone help ? do you have a boat for sale or know someone who has , any help much apreciated

Have you tried the Yellow paper there are usually loads of boats in there or it might be worth a look at boat yards there are usually boats that have been sitting around for years it would be worth asking if they know if any are for sale, i would try MacFarlanes in Balmaha or the other MacFarlanes in Milton of Buchanan on the way to Balmaha you might find somthing to suit you.

there are links on this site to boats for sale and a lot of useful info as well

good luck!

My tip is to get the seller to send lots of pictures of the boat and give lots of information.Haggle with the seller for a good price and then jump in the car and go get it.I have travelled to Oxford,Newcastle and windermere for some of my boats.It makes it more enjoyable when you source a boat and go get it,no matter where it is.Only three weeks so you had better get something quick .

by the yellow paper are you meaning the SCOTADS admin ? i'll give those places a try to though , and cheers franticfisherman for that link , its my first boat and i dont want to buy a shed that'll sink some good info there ,

cheers folks
