Jim Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 New Boat. I now have a new boat. Westport Pilot4 Honda 50 package. What a superb little boat ! Still not finalised the name yet, but Jacqui is rather keen on Tidler. Looking forward to getting out for a zip around in it. Jim Quote

Rob Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Nice one Jim! Though i would be a little concerned about the difference in height of the winch and the eye on the boat! That will put huge strain on the eye, so go get a proper height winch post! Rob Quote

niggle Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Looks very good......roof bling on its way? Nige Quote
Jim Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Posted August 21, 2012 Looks very good......roof bling on its way? Nige Yes Nige. I need to check some sizes and if Ineed to, I'll get busy on the poota and create something new. I can lay a 3D model on top of a photo of the boat to get a feel for the finished article. Wonderful these pooters y'know. Jim Quote
dicky Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 looks great. you must be well chuffed. Quote
Jim Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 looks great. you must be well chuffed. I am indeed Dicky. It's so much easier to push than the warrior was. I know that you can't compare the two, but I'm looking forward to getting her Bum wet. Cheers. Jim Quote
Coddy Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Congrats on the new boat Jim How can you leave it so long without giving her a try??? I would be having a day off at least to try her out and get some hours on the engine so I could see how she went! Good hunting when you do get out Dave Quote
Jim Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Posted August 23, 2012 I can't AFFORD a day off now Dave. Had Wayne round from Cut n Cover yesterday. She's having a Posh new coat made. Jim Quote
Simon Posted August 28, 2012 Report Posted August 28, 2012 Well done on selling small fry. Like the new boat, looks nice and easy to launch! Quote
Jim Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 Hi Simon, Spoke to Russel at Elite Signs yesterday. He's doing the new name for me. Tiddler it is then ! Jim Quote
Jim Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 Here she is folks. Remember me saying something about " Dogs and Dangly bits ? " What a little Belter! I need to get busy on a design for some rod tubes now. I need a favour. Anyone who's going on the family day, - - - - - - - Please take lots of photos of Tiddler. We always struggle to get photos of our boats on the water. Thanks in advance. Jim Quote
