I am looking to buy a boat for use over the summer. It would have to be able to fit around 8 people for cruising up and down the thames enjoying a drink or two in the sun. What kind of boat would be the best for this kind of use? I am not looking to spend too much. I am willing to buy a run down boat and do it up. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

We’re buying a house with no space for a boat outside, but it does have a 2 car garage (typ height – +/-8ft). I think by placing it diagonal and with a folded tounge trailer i’ll be able to fit a decent outboard (+/- 20ft), what worries me is the height (not talking about flat boats).

If anyone has dealt with this issue, please share your experience, any tips, thoughts, etc are appreciated. Thanks.
