Member Removed Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi, I'm looking for a light weight fishing boat, at a reasonable price, which is easy to launch for fishing in and around the harbour... Possible Orkney or aluminium type.... Need a reasonable engine also.... Anybody know of possibles...? Regards, grantB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi Grant. Finding a boat should be no problem. A few questions though.... 1.) Do you want a cuddy / cabin - or do you want an open boat. 2.) You say small and lightweight? Give us an idea of what size. My boat is 16.5' and weighs about 800kgs, yet I can still tow it with a family car and launch her single handed. A 14' open dory though is much lighter and easy to handle 3.) Is it just for fishing the harbour or do you want to venture out as you become more confident? www.boatsandoutboards is a cracking site - keep an eye out here. I would always advise on getting as new an engine as possible, boats are relativly cheap to repair, engines usually aint! Finally, give us a rough idea on your budget?

Newboy Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 As adam suggests, look thru http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/pages/fishing.php they have 100's of boats of all prices, many with photos so you can see whichever takes your fancy. All depending on where you want to fish, newer outboard is obviously more desirable, but can add 100's of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
