Gnasher Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 YESSSSSSSSSSS..........i have a new boat!!!!!!!! me and dom have just bought a 18ft with a decent 40hp ex rnli mariner on the back from stainless steve in Lymington. The boat is in immaculate condition, just been refitted, brand new paint job and graphics........ok, she is not a raider or like, but she is far better than i thought id get, just a bit over budget, but defo worth it. Brand new stainless rod holders, cleats, bow rollers, just as u would expect off him, and the thing is gleaming. For a fairly old boat, she is now looking brandnew. Decent deck space that will fish 3 easy, denent beam, strong trailer, flairs, twin fuel tanks and a hand ful of various size alderny rings and the boat was also featured in Go Fishing fishing for mullet out of xchurch. She is calle "Dat Dam Boat" Dan Quote

DommyBoy Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Trust me fellas shes sweet, shes a Red Bay Fisher 18 (Irish boat) and absolutely immaculate. Cant wait to try her out now. Stainless Steve has been in excess of 12miles passed the needles with her and has had conger upto 85lb on her aswell. As Dan said its no Raider or Warrior but for Quote
duncan Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 what a fantastic layout in and around the cockpit - I am sure you will have great pleasure and much success with her. and an 85lb conger would certainly put the pidgcateons! Quote
