Trailerable Aft-Cabin Cruiser ?

Yep, Another great invention from our friends across the pond. http://www.normanboats.co.uk/

Fuel efficient too, with 7.5 - 10hp outboards on 'em. Ain't no planer fer sure.

Reminds me of the Albins. I always thought they were cool.

Wait.... Just put yer C-Dory on the trailer backwards... There.... aft cabin.

Geez, I crawled all over the Norman site... what a cool boat.
A couple observations:
Some of them reminded me of Tolly's
Wide range of power from 25 hp pushing 25 footers for inland use, to big motors on some other models.
Narrow 6'10'' beam on most of the Normans.... not lots of shoulder room in UK waters.

Most of all, their owners are just about as fierce ,loyal, and militant about them as we are about our C-Dorys. Almost mirror image....(shiver).
For aboat that hasn't been in business in 20+ years, a tribute to the owners and the boat builder.

I dunno fellas... That's one ugly vessel if you ask me. Looks like they used a pickup canopy as a 'hardtop' over the fore and aft cabins. I think the trend is catching on...

Hmm I thought this was a joke at first. I'm sorry these boats are butt UGLY.
Just my opinion though. Even the really nice ones have that gross 70s design.

Yeah guess you guys are right..they are kinda ugly... looks like the "aft cabin' deal is a European thing , found another boat called Seamaster that did the same thing.between the both of them I got a little nauseous.... more on that in a different post.
