Thread: Time to replace the Boat

Our old Fyran 440 ( 1995) has started to spring leaks due to the aluminium getting thin on the bottom .
It’s powered by a 40hp Mercury 2 stroke ( 2016 ) and it has done our family great service it’s whole life ( we’ve owned since new ) .
I know nothing about boats , to me they are simply a tool to get some fish or go for a blat around the bays at our place down the Sounds .
What are some recommendations for something similar to replace our old boat .
The size of the Fyran 440 is perfect for what we need , so I’m not chasing anything bigger .

Any advice from those more knowledgeable than me would be greatly appreciated.

PS - does anyone know of a company ( Nelson/Marlborough) that could maybe repair/ plate the bottom of our old boat .
