It's surprising how dirty a boat can get, Sitting in your garden and not getting used. I cleaned my windows this afternoon and applied some Rain Racer that I bought at the Boat Show. The weather man promised me some rain so I'll run outside when it starts, Just to see if

I think they are Knott Brakes. How much did you pay for Stainless ones ? I probably can't afford it this month anyway. Stainless ones would make sense though. Jim
-
I could do with a couple of cables for my brakes. Unfortunately, I don't have a part number and now that Indespension have gone, I can't just walk in with my old ones. Jim

I remember Mustard from when I was a lad. My Dad had a 27 foot yacht at Redcliffe. Is it still around then ? We used to come down for holidays and weekends. I suppose that makes me part of the Coventry Navy. Been in Poole since 94 so I'm a trainee local now ! Jim

Too busy to get out again. But I did get a stroll along the beach at Hamworthy Pier. The water was crystal clear and smooth as glass. I saw Lots of Bass at Just under the legal limit and thought of you who got out today. What a glorious day to go and dangle your bait. Well done to all who did get out

Was I dreaming when Tony Blair and Gordon Brown Fixed the Interest Low, Ran our country on the back of people believing that they could not lose by buying property, And Boom & Bust just could not happen. Oh here we are again ! ! ! Jim
-
Just got back from Cornwall. Adam, Have a word with the Bass for me, I have'nt had ONE this year yet - - - - ask them to wait a couple of weeks until I can get out again - - - Pleaeaeaeaese ! Jim
-
Excuse the spelling etc. I have no specs with me. Is'nt LPG heavier than air, and sits in the bottom of the boat. You would need to make sure there was plenty of ventilation and no leaks. See ya, Jim
-
You should have asked for my assistance at the toss Adam, I've been told I'm a first class Tosser ! Well Done Lads. Jim
-
No time to go and rummage about. See ya later Paul. Jim
-
We saw a flying Do - Nut the other week. My brother, aged 51 ( mental age 7 ) says I need one !
-
Buying a Do - Nut and a Big Yellow Banana then ?

Line or Rope ?

Wot we got planned for fursday then ? Is young Dan going to dazzle us with Knots ? Or is something else in the offing ? I did'nt think I could make this one, but it turns out that I can. Yipppeeeee ! ! ! Jim

Bit of a change from the Quicksilver Graham. One step nearer to the land of Gin Palaces. Jim
-
I gave up Coarse fishing to " Take to the Seas " I was crap at that too ! But I still enjoy Me self. Well done Dan. Jim
-
Happy Birthday Paul.

Is it true that Poole Harbour speed restrictions are lifted during the winter months? If so, from when to when. I've heard stories but nothing certain. Jim
-
Fully booked at home. Could have brought Small Fry round. AAAhhhhhh - - - - Two E-Tecs. See ya next time Gordon. Jim
-
Thanks Steve, You just saved me a load of Lager Tokens. Small Fry ain't broke, so I ain't gonna fix it ! Jim

MMMMMMM _ _ _ _ Seaside Based - - - - Only used in Fresh Water ? Is that Poetic License, Like " One little old lady owner "? When you get to my age, you tend to carry a pinch of salt with you for just such occasions. It'll be Fine ! See you out there. Jim
-
The new 170 is just " Nicer " than the 165. When the wives are helping to choose, this should help to sway them. Well done Warrior !
-
A friend of mine thinks it's a Large fold of Money ! The chap at the boat show says it's an insert on the engine mounting to alter the angle. Adam will explain in more detail I suppose. Adam, in your view do we need wedge and Trim Tabs, or just choose from one of the two ? Jim
-
Were you happy with the Service etc.? I assume you were, as you did not say otherwise. Jim
-
The man on the stand said that the hull had been altered slightly too. My 165 tends to " Porpoise " on flat water and he claims they have designed that out of it. He also said I could use some Trim Tabs and a Wedge. I thought the wedge was to pay for them but he explained that it is used to alter the angle of the engine.
