bootlegger Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 This morning myself and Dan travelled to Plymouth to check out a 1991 Colvic Seaworker. We were vey impressed with it and with a few personal alterations would do us very nicely. Fully kitted out with trim tabs, 50 gallon fuel tank, electronics, etc powered by a 70 HP Ford 4D Diesel we were happy with the deal and we now have a new boat called Simply Red. What was nice was the bloke we bought it from hails from my part of the world, Manchester, and we got talking as to how he came to be in Plymouth. Then it hit me with an awful realisation. The boat has a red hull with black and white trim and with red interior and it's name said it all. "You're a United fan aren't you." I asked, he replied "Oh, yes it's my second love, hence the name etc." As a huge Man City fan all work on the boat is on hold until we've painted the hull blue and changed it's name. I can't believe it, I've bought a Man United boat. Ps We're still very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
