Happy Birthday Retrowagon. Thought I'd use some Big Letters for a Big Fella. Hope it's been a good un. Jim

Different ! Not sure I'd want one though.

He's growing fast Adam. He'll soon be taking you out on HIS boat ! Jim

Indeed !

That's an interesting Site ! All those fishing boats in one area. They must be targeting something. I suppose it's Bass as you said Trev Anyway stop looking at that and get on with your homework ! !

By Eck lad ! You're doing a Grand Job.

Happy Birthday Rich. Jim

Brilliant. Well done Steve.

Fantastic !

At least you got paid DOUBLE TIME

Lofty ! You are an inspiration to to us mortal men who look at the weather and chicken out. Thanks for sharing with us. Something about Kayaker's reports..... They're always very interesting ! ! Cheers. Jim

Interesting Brian. Thanks. Jim

Congratulations Alan. You need to repair the brakes and bearings I believe ? Make sure you fit a Hub flush kit. They are fantastic ! ! ! !. Make sure you fit Bearing Savers ! They too are fantastic ! ! I have some stuff you can borrow to clean the rust from your brake parts that are not going in the skip. It's a paste that you leave for a while and then hose off. It dissolves the rust and leaves it clean and ready for painting. PM me if you want to borrow it. Jim

You have my respect Adam ! Big task on top of working and Husband / Dad duties. You're making a fantastic job of it and it's good to see you found a few jobs for Rob so he feels useful. Jim

Happy Birthday Jon. Hope It's a good one. Not much chance of fishing in this weather though ! Jim

Hi Alan, Not had much to do with them but yes, looks similar to Warrior 165. Had a bit of a look a few years ago but didn't think it was as good as Warrior. How does weight compare to Warrior ? The 60HP engine is only just enough. 70 or 75 is far better as you can get it up on the plane and then ease right back to cruise economically. I don't think resale value will be as good but if you can buy it cheap enough ? ? ? Have you priced the brakes and bearings ? probably £150. ish ! for parts. Jim

Happy Birthday Dave. I expect you'll have an extra cake or two. Happy Birthday Freddie. Jim

Happy Birthday Sandy. Jim

Hi Alan. Giving up the rag & stick or going to try to do both ? Warriors are great boats. The 175 is very heavy though. As with all boats, you trade one thing against another. Jim

Not the SECRET map I hope Brian ! ?
