Newboy Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Anyone seen this boat from X'church? It's a small boat operating out off Mudeford. Quote
jack Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I see no boat {or ships ]...did you leave something out Kam ? jack Quote
Newboy Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Posted October 13, 2005 Lightning is the name of the fishing boat, don't have ant pictures, just curious as in an advert in BFM it says it's a 40knots fishing boat, that's bl**dy fast. Quote
jack Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Perhaps it's an ex -navel intercept craft with "proteus" jet engine.... jack Quote
duncan Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 40knots........... that's faster than me.............. wonder what lures he trolls at that speed though? Quote
jack Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Duncan. dont know if you noticed..I left you a P.M.....jack Quote
Adam F Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Not too sure but I think he is an Aquafish 23, blue hull and white topsides...moors up the river. I have seen he out quite a few times (if it is this boat) It always makes me laugh when I see these adverts....'30 knots - 25 knot cruise'....'fastest boat in the fleet - 40 knots' etc, etc..... Not that I have been on loads of charter boats, but enough to know that none of them ever use this speed. I think the best Ive ever seen/got is on the modern cats about 18 knots cruising. Im not knocking the skippers at all, as economical fuel issues etc are more important, but if you arnt/wont use the speed, then why advertise it! Adam Quote
Swainiac Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Here here Adam......having crewed on the good ship Dawn Raider...she purely flies, warp factor ramming speed, but the ride is a tad white knuckle!!! <gg> Speed isnt everything! Rich Quote
JIMBOB Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 sorry rich I thought being an ex cop you might like a bit of high speed pursuit! Quote
Swainiac Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 James.....you'll never hear me complain of speed!!!!! Rich Quote
