Mal Thomas Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Great news Nige, obviously we didn't put them off too much! Quote
Jim Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Good news Nige. I can't see any reason that a survey would cause any probs, knowing the way you've looked after her. You've had many a great trip on Wishin, and now's the time to move on. Hope it all works out great for you. Jim Quote
Rob Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Well done Nige, will the new one fit in RIBS? Rob Quote

pirky Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Great news mate ... hope the replacement is all you desire .... well almost all !! Dave Quote
niggle Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Posted March 26, 2012 Cheers guys,......but what to get next?Still unsure, want some speed would like lots but think ill have to compromise,Sandy wants it to have a proper loo as she has threatened to come out on it Any ideas would be appreaciated ....diesel...cabin...loo...quite quick...good fishing platform....hob.... Do they make such a boat that doesnt cost more than a divorce? Ive been thinking about a Starfisher 840 but its shaft, max 26knts,would really like a DP leg for Christchurch Ideas please Nige Quote
Adam F Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 It's a tough one Nige - as I'm sure you know by now, and all about compromise. Personally I wouldnt let speed dictate the boat too much - as long as it will maintain a cruise of 16-18 knots in moderate conditions then that's plenty enough - Charlie and the others will support me I'm sure that the days when you can open it up are far and few between... and when you can you often dont as it costs Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Nigel Ive been looking at the Starfisher 840 and really like them. I think the one with a Yanmar 315 might be good for 30Knots on a good day but as Adam said it's not very often you would be able or afford to. Cruising at around 18-22knots suits me and many others fine. Other beast could be Rodman 870 or rodman 900 series (my preferred option) Oh and Thanks Adam for the plug Martin Quote
Rob Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Rodman 800/900 or I really like the Offshore 30, I'm sure someone has something like that in the club! Quote
ChrisE Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Well done, Nige. If I was in the market I'd also consider a Cougar cat around 7m. Very stable and fast in conditions that kill a monohull. Just a thought.... Quote
