Jim Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
