Now, ten years after he started, he is well established, with over 52 craft to his name, and a reputation to match.<br><br>At the time we were impressed with the quality of the boat we looked at - it&#8217;s standard of fit-out, and the ideas he was using for the interior layout. In fact we borrowed some of them for our own boat that was being built at the time, and have not regretted it!<br><br> ... We liked Milburn Boats when we first met them, and the standard has not fallen.
