Boats

I am planning on buying a boat very soon but this is my first boat and I have no idea what to buy, where to buy it from, how much to pay, where will I park it (if parking applies), who will maintain it, what's the average cost of ownership, etc. I need a boat enough for about 8 people or so, not too fast but not a dead beat as well, looks good and in good condition (preferably used). Can you help?

You could always hire a crew of somalian pirates to help you with your boat.

Hi,

you can find a sports/motor boat with one engine from Qr30K to 50K ideally for 4-6 people in the marinas, you should search and dont believe or trust people when they say they are none, they simply dont know or dont wanna help.

as for 2 engines, you can find in the range of Qr60K - 120K depends on its usage and year.

as for space and availability, you can find at the marina through networking.

i have a boat for sales if you want, call me at 5529688

if u have any friends working for QP, they have online intranet souq, where employees advertise stuff for sale, and many times i've seen boats for sale like the one ur looking for.

best luck, by the way, if u want me to keep an eye, i have no problem, just let me know ur budget.

cheers

Honestly YOU should not buy a boat, it would be a disaster for you- to own a boat you need to have basic skills and knowledge that you lack(I base this on your questions to the matter)

Owning a boat is not cheap, and you should have the skills to do Hull maintenance at least your self. Knowledge of Engines is also important and useful.
