Has anyone had any experience of these boats ???
As this is also my first diesel boat i`m looking for some info regarding looking after it and servicing ect.
Any help would be most welcome.
Cheers
Alan

Try the same question on the Poole Bay website (http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/). One of the members is a salesman for a Jeanneau supplier, should be able to give you some things to watch out for.

Hi Alan

Jeneau are nice looking bits of kit. I cant speak from experience but know a few that have them and all seem happy. As Steve says above you may get some info from pbsbac Tom Bettle is the guy you need to ask.

Martin

ps your registration is now approved

Great looking Boat Alan, considered one myself, opted for Ocquateue in the end, but a hard decicion, they look good on the water and behave well, if the engine has been serviced regular, then you should have a great summer. Maintenance is almost nil, keep her clean and tidy and enjoy.

Hi Alan

Hope all the info you got from me and the PBSBAC crew was worth having and that you have a great time with the new boat.
