Brian Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Just came across this, it's in Dorchester. Used to have a "Whitey Bitey" in the club. http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/Fishing-Boats-for-sale/warrior-warrior-165/112757#AX3fI1GzhyACb0HM.97 Quote
Jim Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Gazza had Whitey Bitey. Look at the rod tubes Brian. I think it's the same boat. I had no idea he'd sold it. Jim Quote
Brian Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Posted January 10, 2016 I noticed the rod tubes, that's why I checked the database for the name. Quote
Gazza Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Yep thats my old boat, If it's the same engine I think it's been used as a garden ornament ( jim), about the same engine hrs as when i sold it I sold it about 3 yrs ago and have recently bought a second hand 175 Gary Jim 1 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Yep was Gary Ayles Gazza on the forum but he hasn't been a club member for a while now Quote
Gazza Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 I still look in every now and then to see if anyone is going out in this blooming wind I knew as soon as I got another boat the weather would change...... Gary Jim 1 Quote
Jim Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Well done Gary. I knew you were after a 175. You kept it quiet. Hope you're managing to shift it about on the trailer or are you moored ? Can you squeeze it in your drive ? the 165 was a bit tight. Anyway- - - - ATB Jim Maverick Martin 1 Quote
Gazza Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 I got the boat second hand from Romney Marsh (near Dover) back in August, was nearly giving up after 3yrs searching and saving. The boat is called "Catch 22" and is kept on a dry rack at Rockley (too much physical exercise in trailing her) Hopefully after a few things to sort out I will be out on the water soon ? Jim, can you still get hold of a set of rocket launchers? as the boat has some but they are those dull horrible aluminium ones Gary Quote
Brian Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 Gary I've got a set of "Jim's" rocket launchers, that I'm considering selling, as I have trouble reaching them. Jim 1 Quote
Jim Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Sorted ! Brian. - - If you stand on your wallet you could reach them.. Gary: I think they're exactly the same so you should be on a winner. As for the name " Catch 22 " Mine would be " Catch Nowt " gjb 1 Quote
Brian Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 They should fit the 175 ok, I assume the bridge is the same. I'm at Rockley so you're welcome to try them to make sure. Quote
Gazza Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 If you are selling them Brian can I have first refusal please ? I will have to check to see if they fit the 175 bridge first.....just to make sure. I am also at Rockley but the boat is having some work done elsewhere and may not be back until a week Saturday have you a price in mind ? can you pm me ? you maybe interested in the ones I have now (height wise) as they are a few inches lower although the dull grey aluminium might put you off Gary Quote
Brian Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 Hi Garry I'll pass on the "dull grey aluminium" ones thanks. I hadn't really given any thought to price, I think they cost me about £150, how does £100 sound. Whenever you want to try them for fit, give me a call and we'll arrange to meet at Rockley. Cheers Brian 07763 779089 Quote
Jim Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Over at Poole Gary ? I may get to see you out & about then. If I get out myself. Quote
Gazza Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Brian, that sounds a fair price to me, I will call you when the boat is back at Rockley, Jim, hopefully I will see you out on the water soon......by the way you didn't say if the rod tubes are still in production or not ? Gary Brian 1 Quote
Jim Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Gary: Yes I believe they saved the jigs so I should imagine so. Why? do you know people who want them ? Jim Quote
Gazza Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 There is a Warrior site on facebook with about 800 members on there.......maybe they are all potential customers ? I don't go on facebook really although my eldest set me an account up, but I have never put anything on there. Anyway, it may be worth a try ? , nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

Jim Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks Gary. I'll pass it on to Tony & Steve ( Robton engineering ) I don't really get involved but it's always nice to see my sparkly creations. Jim Quote
Brian Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 I did plug them on the Warrior group on 5th April 2013, so wouldn't hurt to do it again. Jim 1 Quote
Jim Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Maybe they could knock up a special " short arse " set for the less tall Brian ! Brian 1 Quote
