In response to the review below. The boat was not nearly new and the customer bought the boat on brokerage not from us. We supplied all the paperwork to him upon the sale and again in the post when he requested it. He refused for us to clean it for him and did not have a survey. The trailer was not illegal it is the original from the manufacturer. Please do not slate a company when you have not taken the correct procedures in buying a boat. We are a hard working, honest family business.

Bought a nearly new boat that West Solent boat builders said they had looked after from new ...Two weeks after purchased found it was in a bad way .They said they had lost all the paperwork and we should have had a survey so our fault for buying it..Just spent £7000 on repairs and told the trailer is illegal as it is far too small for the boat .£2000 for a new one ...AVOID these people !!!
