Adam F Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) Well, at the forth time of trying, Ive actually managed to replace BW. Understandably I have been a little hush hush on this last one after the previous three failed attempts. Anyway! ' Out of the Blue ' is now safetly back home and all mine!! I've postponed the idea of a cross channel moored boat until next year, so Plan B was a Warrior 175. She's a minter, never been fished from, lived in the med most of her life and has a strapping BF115 Honda bolted to the back. She needs kitting out so plenty of shineys and bling is on its way! Just need some good weather to get her out.. Edited February 10, 2007 by Adam F Quote
Paul D Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Nice one Adam. Pictures coming soon I presume. Quote

Paul D Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Same flag as in the picture I was looking at earlier From Kent I presume. Quote
pegleg Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Well done mate . good things come to those that wait. Jas Quote
alun j. Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Nice one !!! Pretty much as I envisioned back in Dec. !! A little more 'Warrior' ........ and a little less 'Blue'. Have fun fitting her out to your spec. and you'll soon be out amongst the action. What's first?? ......... Shambles plaice/ turbot or the wreck pollack / cod ??? If ever you're looking for crew ......... I'll bring the home-baked bread. Well done, Alun. Must deserve a glass of bubbly ! Quote
Newboy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Wow,lovely boat, bet you can't wait to fish from her. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Adam it's go to be the right boat for you, you certainly had to try hard enough to get it Have fun Martin Quote
reg Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 All things come to them that wait wishing you plenty of tight lines on her Reg Quote
Afishionado Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Well done Adam! So will you be buying boat bling on Ebay?? Mad Mike Quote
Adam F Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 Its been a good day, not only do we have a new boat, but we sold our house on the way home with 'Out of the Blue' SO! Having finally found a new boat, we're on the look out for a new house now - just hoping that it's not as hard as buying a boat. Mike - Yep, plenty of bling on the way - 10.5" colour plotter, 6" FF and new VHF. Plenty of SS goddies waiting to go on as well! Quote
Coddy Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Nice one Adam Be interested on how she performs compared to BW. Yes selling and buying houses are even more stressful. As you may recall, we had to rent before we could find the right house and even that was a compromise. Good hunting Coddy (with envy) Quote
Mike Y Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Congratulations Adam on both counts - look forward to seeing the new boat in action on the Shambles soon Mike Quote
alun j. Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Adam, Congratulations and Good Luck again on the house-hunting; you will be fortunate if that goes as smoothly as your boat buying and you manage to avoid problems in 'chains'. So now you have your 'prospective' purchaser, have you found somewhere that suits?....... with room for the boat........or are you going to put her in the river? Good to see you got lots to keep you busy through the 'off' season, can I pop round and have a look one afternoon?? Cheers, Alun. Quote
jack Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Well done and good luck with the new boat Adam. and Goodbye to the last few Fish left in Poole Bay.. jack Quote
Seamouse Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Nice one Adam, have fun kitting her out. Steve Quote
great white Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Nice one Adam she looks the business What toys are you fitting, Garmin I presume I thought that although you had stopped looking a new boat would soon arrive Charlie Quote
Adam F Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Yep, I expect Garmin to be my choice, just trying to find the gear I want at the right prices at the moment. The 2007 Garmin kit (not available in the UK till Spring) has satalite photo basemaps, which are outstading in quality - I'm just a little unsure of how well they will supported in the UK at the moment by Garmin.. http://www.garmin.com/marine2007/index.html Its a good time of year to get her though, I've got a good few weeks of fitting out etc to do before the plaice arrive What have you decided to fit on GWII? Quote
Phil V Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Boat looks great Adam, where did you find her? I'm on the look out to replace the Pilot 590 that I've just sold and there's nothing in B&O at the moment!! V. frustrating. Phil Quote
Adam F Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Phil - B&O's is where I found her, along with the other one which fell through. IMO its the best place to find a boat. www.findafishingboat.co.uk can also be good. If you are looking for a 175, their is a 2004 boat on their at the moment with a 90 Honda for Quote
Paul J Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Adam, When you taking her out? PJ Quote
Adam F Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 Not too sure yet Paul. The engine is going into Poole Marine Services on Weds for a once over and the prop is over at Prop Revs having a missing chunk replaired, so not this w/e. However if I can find a S/S prop this week I'll take her out. Why, do you fancy joining me? Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Adam Don't forget to mention to PMS you are a member of this club. Not sure you will get discount but it will let our most recent sponsor know they spent their money wisely Martin Quote
Adam F Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 Already done Martin. Most helpful chaps they were too, and they offered a discount... ....but at over Quote
