New boat

Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 5:54 pm

Gonna pick up my new small boat for pottering about the harbours or close inshore for whiting and flatties. Saves all that casting. Will more than likely use it mostly in the summer months. Will post pic of it later. Cheers keith

Hope you have a lot of good times with your knew boat. I wish i could afford a boat but if the wife wont let me have a motorbike she sure as hell wont even give a second thought to me getting any kind of marine vessel .....maybe a lilo she might entertain that rolling on the floor

The new boat is the new baby seahog its a glorified 12ft rowing boat that will take an engine up to 8hp but the beauty is that she's double skined and completely foam filled. Cheers keith

Well I got the new boat home but whilst at the boat yard I was looking at new engines and have decided to purchase a brand new 4hp 4 stroke and at the same time I purchased a new VHF ship/shore handheld for £70. I am now seriously considering taking my big boat off the market and towing her back home. Cheers keith big grin

Na then me old mucker, What tha needs now is, someone ter sit in tha boat lookin like he knows what hes doin, Na it just appens i have an uptider with a trolling reel, (i think its for catching Troll's) and a lot of spare time, so if tha needs a muppet ter sit on the other side of tha boat to stop it leaning over, look nay further. big grin

Looks like a nice boat rab , did you buy it direct from the makers (how much) and what does it weigh before its full of fish ( and before you start adding rod rests and other bits).
Any chance of pictures of inside , keel, bow and transom .......sniggle

Yep I'll do that no probs cost 1200 with trailer not sure of the weight but it very light and will take a 2 to 8hp engine, I have just managed to get a 5hp for it. The boat itself is double skinned and foam filled so safty has been well catered for and I have bought a new VHF handheld at £70 new. Cheers keith big grin

My wife said if I got a boat she'd leave me. NINE boats later she's still here though! Solicitor says I have good grounds to sue for breach of contract. winking
