Bootlegger Ist Ended

[bootlegger]

Sold on Tueday Bootlegger II, sorry to see her go, but needed something bigger if Dan and I are going to go further a field and the old girl wasn't big enough if I wanted to take more than two out at at a time.

 

So after several years marauding around Essex, Kent and for the last two years Poole she has hopefully gone to a good home.

 

Sorry to see her go really, but ther you are.

 

Checking out a Colvic Seaworker tommorrow, she needs a bit of a tidy, but the hull appears to be in good nick, she's got traim tabs and a Sabre 85 shaft drive so she'll do 12-14 knotts, which is good enough.

 

(Dan'll have to get used to plodding about a bit)

Shame to see an old friend go but times move on.

Martin, yes it is the same marque of boat, not as pretty or tidy as the one you posted, but I've got all winter to do her up.

Not to worry Tim, we'll get a turbo

I'm sure by the first spring breezes you'll be straining to get out on the water.

 

As many will know I'm no expert but with that profile, (like a WWII Gunboat or rescue launch) it looks like it'll do darn sight more than 14 knots? You need a bigger motor, or that turbo!

They look fast, but they're not a full-on planing hull so they need a fair bit of horsepower to go fast.
