MY BOAT IS A SEAHOG SHORTIE NAMED PATRICIA AFTER MY WIFE. I HAVE JUST STARTED BOATING AGAIN AFTER 20YRS. FISHING HAS PICKED UP A LOT HERE IN RESENT YEARS ESPECIALY NOW WE HAVE CLUSTERS OF WIND TURBINES AROUND THE COAST, SO I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR MY SHORTIE HAS A TOHATSU 40HP MOTOR AND I THINK SHE WAS A GOOD BUY, EASY TO LAUNCH,FAST,LOADS OF ROOM AND FEELS SAFE. WHAT DO OTHER SHORTIE OWNERS THINK TO THEIR BOATS?.

thanks for that andy,you are right about knowing a boats limits, if the weather changes and your in doubt get the boat closer in or back on the beach[live to fish another day]. i see you have a 520, one of my mates has just bought a new one with a 50hp 4 stroke i havnt seen it yet but he is purring like a kitten [must be nice to have money ha ha]

Yes, Crossy is very comfortable from a financial view point. He banks with Halifax, rumour has it that the banking crisis started when he wrote a cheque on his account. He had a lottery win recently too. He kept quiet about that. Oops I've let the cat out of the bag now!!

HMMM, SOUNDS LIKE I HAD BETTER REALLY GET TO KNOW CROSSY A LOT BETTER,I COULD DO WITH A MONTHLY CHEQUE TO PAY FOR OUTBOARD MOTOR FUEL PLUS MY BOAT CLUB ANUAL FEES ARE COMING UP SOON crying

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS CATCHING NOW, SKEGGY WAS A BIT QUIET BUT AFTER LAST WEEKS STORMS IT COULD PICK UP,IM IN A BEACH MATCH TOMORROW EVENING SO I WILL SEE.

Get in the line for Crossys money. I'm in 2nd place, just behind a nice gentleman known as stainless Steve Bachalor, living on the south coast of England. A cause Crossy gives cash to on a very regular basis. winking

Hi everyone. just to put the record straight the lottery win was only a tenner, between mother in law and wife! Back to orkneys ,is your mate,s boat a 520 or the new 522? the 520 is only engine rated to35h hp where the new 522 is rated to 50 hp regards andy. cool
