[Paul D]

My new seats came from Nautiquipe today ( price was less ordered over the phone than stated on their web site ).

 

So should be able to fish Sunday in comfort

Well, the passenger one is now fitted, will replace the other one tomorrow.

 

Anyone want to make an offer for some old boat seats ?

Paul,

I've recently bought an Orkney 520, I think we've been in contact on here before.

My boat, "Marlyn," is not really set up for angling at the moment. I see in your photos that you have rod holders attached to rails down each side. I'm trying to put a few ideas together before I do any drastic changes.

Do you have any digi photos of your deck layout and if so would you mind e-mailing them to me.

 

Thanks, Simon

Simon,

 

I havent got any to hand atthe moment but will take some tomorrow ( provided I get home before it gets dark ! ).

 

Does your Orkney have the side rails fitted ? - I think they are an optional extra.

 

I have just bought two s/s rod holders for

Thanks for all that Paul,

 

Don't rush with the photos, any time it's convenient for you.

 

I've been out just a couple of times in Poole harbour. With my little boy (he's only six) we nearly got 22 knots but it wasn't ideal conditions. I think it will be better balanced with two adults though, as with me on the starboard side we had a bit of a list. I was well impressed with how quiet the engine was; my old boat had a two stroke 15hp Mariner and this has a 30hp four stroke Yamaha.

I 'm looking foward to the next month or so when the weather improves. I haven't done much angling since I was a kid when my dad and uncle used to run a charter boat from Poole quite a few years ago. I seem to remember the bream fishing was always a good start to the season.

Paul,

 

I might have an interest in the seats. Depends what they are.

They are like the smaller backed WISE seats ( in fact i think they may be WISE ones ) just well worn ! ( actually not too bad ). Grey vinyl colour fits standard pedestal / swivel mount

What? No photos of the spanking new seats yet?

I suppose you need the new bucket seats Paul to provide support and to brace you against the sheer acceleration of Neo!

 

Sorry, matey - couldnt resist it.

[Paul D]

 

but they actually aren't bucket seats ( I decided these weren't needed - lack of speed etc. ( where is the "yawn" smilie ) )

Do you know what the old seats retailed for when they were new?
