Adam F Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 Thats it! - Ive finally ended my search! - I went down to the Marina today - and bought my new boat! A 2001 Warrior 165. Mariner 50hp 4 Stroke. All in A1 condition! I had the local Mariner engineer come and have a look at the engine. He was satisfied that nothing major was wrong, and she certianly run smooth while I was there. Ill book her into Cobbs for next week, so hopefully she will be ready for the Weymouth trip! Her name? - ' Blue Warrior ' Dead chuffed! - Picking her up next Sat. The only thing I need now is a big car to pull it! Adam Quote
Bob F Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 Good luck with her, Adam. She's a beautiful boat. I'm not envious, of course. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 Well done Adam I'm sure the wait was worth it Look forward to seeing Blue Warrior on the 10th April from weymouth Martin Quote
Paul D Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 Well pleased for you Adam ( and also well envious !! ). Shall have to ask for my commission now Quote
Adam F Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Posted March 27, 2004 Paul - If you wanna crew for me in Weymouth - Id be more than happy! - or did you mean financial!!! Quote
Paul D Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 I meant commission from the brokers ( tongue firmly in cheek ). I fancy taking Neo from Weymouth, but not sure if I can make it yet ( my son's birthday on the 11th ). Quote

Coddy Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Well done Adam Glad to see you got her all checked out ok We will have o meet up sometime to compare boats/notes Regards Cod Quote
Adam F Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Posted March 28, 2004 Sounds like a good plan! - Either one of the club meetings (1st Thurs every month) or at our 1st Monthly points comp in April would be a good idea?? Can you make it? - Sun 18th April. Adam Quote
Afishionado Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Paul - If you wanna crew for me in Weymouth - Id be more than happy! - or did you mean financial!!! If you need a crew for a trip I would love to come along on a share cost basis . My own boat is only 16ft and a bit low on freeboard for trips way out into the wild blue yonder so I stick to the near not so blue summer time yonder my self. Mike Quote
Coddy Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Hi Adam I have been told by the "FPO" that she has plans for me over Easter! Fishing is not an option! "This is an ideal time to work around the house" and other messages! So as I am fishing in the IAC (Internet Fishing Club) Fish In at Hayling Island over the WHOLE bank holiday week-end at the end of May, I think it's only prudent to obey the one who issues passes. (at least for a while ) I would love to come down one week-end during May and join you all for a trip out, I have no marks but looking at the chart there seem some interesting places to try. Look forward to seeing a picture on the web page when you get "Blue Warrior" home. I wish I could see your grin when you first take her out. If it was anthing like mine it stays with you for days until you go out again and again Cod Quote
great white Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Hi Adam. WELL DONE THAT MAN! lots of patience and finally the boat you were after. Glad the engine test was good and like the others I look forward to seeing her. No doubt that will be as she goes flying past the Great White. If you have as much fun and as many good fish as you did with James on Tara, I will be hearing a lot of reports for the book later in the year. Tight lines Charlie Quote
