QUICKSILVER 640 PILOTHOUSE

Great boat, ideal for two but can sleep four if using blow up mattress or camp beds within enclosed canopy. With a 25HP it is ideal for The Thames, or other inland rivers and waterways. Perfect for fuel economy and powerful enough to take us down past the Thames Barrier. Very sturdy and seaworthy boat, has been very stable when in 1m+ chop, not at all uncomfortable. Portaloo fine for overnight camping, though usually break up longer stays with marinas n hotels for showering and WC facilities. All very easy on The Thames...Easy to manoeuvre, great size for locks and toughness of the boat really does give confidence if those around you are not as good at handling their boats as they could be. Easy ad small enough to anchor up on the river without causing obstruction. Pilothouse gives comfort and enables use on colder or rainy days (no reason not to get out there if it's cloudy or raining, the world still looks beautiful on the water). Full rear enclosure is recommended, or at least a bimini. A great sized cockpit; far larger than that found on 30ft+ boats, ample seating for 6, possibly 8. table included. Superb amounts of cleverly thought out storage throughout. We take spare fuel, inflatable kayaks, paddleboards and all sorts away with us as well as our bags. High decks make this a very safe family boat too. A great family boat - often overlooked, a lot of bang for the buck. The kind of boat someone clever buys!!!
