Hi Coolcat

We sold our Broom Skipper (30ft) last September after 12 years of boating on the Broads.

Brooms are great boats - well built by craftsmen who took a pride in their work. Still true today if you visit their yard and talk to the guys there.

The 32 has the big advantage of the flybridge which is great when the weather is good. It's down side is the different levels within the boat so you need to be pretty nimble to get around.

Another thing to consider is the air draft. Wroxham Bridge, Potter Heigham and Beccles old road bridge are definite no no's and even Ludham Bridge may not be an option when tides are high. Yarmouth will also need careful thought.
