I grew up in Poole so the boat discussion is interesting. Poole at least still has a public slipway with slipway parking and every 10th house has a boat on a trailer in the driveway round my mum's way.

Kept our first boat at Cobbs Quay in Hamworthy, 2 years maybe getting on for 3 before we moved it up to North Wales. Always enjoyed our time at Poole.

The ones our council are clearing are usually sunken wrecks. Worth enquiring round boatyards though. Although cheap, I doubt many are fianancially viable.

If you want a fixer upper, there is always this one, its missing a few parts :
