The New Mistress!

[Adam F]

Well after a whirlwind couple of weeks, I found myself in the pouring rain this morning waiting for a rather special delivery to arrive....

 

Rewind 2 weeks and JV wasn't even for sale! A chance email from Ian who had spotted a guy who had the big brother to JV and wanted to downsize got us thinking, as a larger boat has been discussed between us over the years. Anyway, cue a couple of rush trips to Brixham a visit from him to Poole, a couple of sea trials and some frantic email price negotiation, a deal was struck to exchange boats.

 

This is Ian and myself's new boat.... To remain - Joint Venture.

 

She is an Aquafish 28, with a Volvo Penta D4 260hp though a Duo Prop leg.

 

Overall she is a cracking boat, and a real monster for 28'. She dwarfed little JV1 this morning. She wants some loving in the wheelhouse, but that will be a winter project to look forward to, and a chance to make her ours, with some big plans for a refit and a fancy new electronics package.

 

Hopefully tomorrow a chance to get her out and play, and start prepping her for the summer ahead.

Well done guys, she looks good and sounds like a good deal that suited both parties. 

A nice project to follow to make her your own.

 

Good luck with the fishing and project.

Lovely boat Adam, congratulations - can't wait to see her out on the water

[niggle]

All the best with you're new upgrade

[Stuie]

The stuff of dreams Adam/Ian - no sweating over trying to sell little JV either. Couldn't have gone better.

[Steve S]

Well done guys, fallen on your feet doing a swap deal, saves so much time and cost.

 

So reset the job list...., check the bank balance, open the cheque book and spend!

 

Looking forward to seeing her on the water.

[Rob]

What's a "cheque book"?

Thanks guys, feels like the right move. Sad to see jv1 go after I built her but this one is a good upgrade, she feels huge to me but you soon get used to that. Spent the day on her today getting kit sorted and really pleased with her.

[Adam F]

Took a bit of ballast off her today.... Guess how much?
