Tiddler for Sale. Details & price etc. to follow. After a LOT of thought, I've decided to sell Tiddler. Just letting club members know before it goes on national boating websites.

Take it steady Charlie.

I DID have it for a while but deleted my account. Face Ache then tells people you've " unliked " them which can cause upset. My view of face ache . . . . . . . Jab it mate! ! ! ! ! 😃

Don't have Face Ache.

I need a buoyancy Jacket for my little doggy if anyone has one they no longer need.

Nice one Chris. 👍

Hi Steve, If it's like this: Charlie's option would be cheapest and easiest: "Is there an option to skim the shaft to fit different seals with slightly smaller ID seals?" Failing that you could get the diameter reduced and "sweat" a sleeve on it and have that turned & ground to size. You could try Robton engineering for a price. https://www.robton.co.uk/ But there's probably plenty of firms over your way. Jim

Wow! Nice one Steve.

Great. Thanks Steve, Sorry I couldn't get to the weigh in. Thanks Jerry for providing the support boat.

Isn't Trev's a Souter? Don't know what he's doing with it though!

I filmed this on my phone whilst steering Tiddler with the other hand but this is Sea Jay in Swanage Bay: Excuse the lumpy film.. 🙂

Happy Birthday Tony. Must be time to retire again ! 😃 A glass of wine perhaps ?????

That's cos the French think they own them maybe ?

Ahhhh I do love a happy ending. 👍

Hi Graham, I don't know much about modern engines but . . . . . . . I bought my Honda 50 new about 10 -11 years ago. It's a superb engine. Very smooth and great on fuel but . . . . . . . . . . . . . some idiot thought a good way of saving money would be to use a plastic impeller housing. I had the leg in water a couple of years ago and started it up for the first time of the year. It didn't suck any water through and destroyed the housing in seconds. It's one thing to melt the impeller (which I've never done) but the whole flipping housing (top & bottom) in seconds is crazy! ! ! and NOT cheap. May be a question to ask when you're buying. Maybe they're all like that now! I suppose that's progress.

Happy Birthday Ben. Looks a good day for it. If you're going fishing you'll have to wait until later for the beer & cake. 👍 Jim

Happy Birthday Matt. Brown rain and breezy today so probably a Beer & Cake day. 👍

Nice fish Ben. Nice photo Charlie.

Good news you're up & about again Allan.

I expect He's already on several lists.

I think there's a lot of people hoping for that one Brian. 👍

They are very warm though! ☺️

I had one but I think I chucked it away. Lovely & warm but I was always afraid that if I fell overboard and not concious I could easily float face down. Maybe a lifejacket as well would help? What's the general feelings of other members?

Happy birthday Dean. Have an extra slice of cake tonight!

Happy Birthday Mark. Not a bad day for it. Did you get out? If not it'll be Beer & Cake then. 👍
