Similar thing with a salesman in Poole centre. I went to Anglesey to buy something he told me were not available. ( He's not there anymore ) ( Nothing to do with me )

Charlie : It is now ! Mick: Just Me I think. Jacqui & Myself were out Today as well. Lovely day. We went over Swanage bay for the shelter from the breeze but she got soaked by the spray on the way back. I explained that if we had a Barracuda she wouldn't be getting wet. I can't put on here what she said but I think she was saying NO! Jacqui took the helm out as far as Old Harry on the way out then brought us back through the Harbour. The odd wave came over the cuddy so I went inside to keep the nose down for her

Very good Steve.

A day out on Serenity, Sat 11th July 2020 I was lucky enough to get a trip on Serenity. Nice lazy start. Meet at 9:00 am at Cobb's I got there at 8:45 and waited for Tony. Got a call at 9 asking where I was? ? ? Tony was already on the boat and raring to go. Low tide so no need for bridge lift so off we went. Followed through Holes Bay by Fisheagle. I think they were going for some more species to add to the tally. Tony & myself were out for a " Jolly " and maybe a few for his species tally too. Started at the "Secret Ray mark" which already had some boats on it. Happy Hooker being one of them. Tony had a Small eyed and some Mackerel. I had a Red Gurnard of 1lb 14oz which Tony tells me is a good one. I explained how it was all down to the skill of the angler. Tony followed with a Blonde. Can't remember the weight ? ? ? Then a Small eyed. . . . weight? ? Holy Mackerel put a call out on the radio which had me completely fooled about Triggers being caught between the piers. What I didn't know was it was Jan and I could see him on Happy Hooker. Fisheagle came over for a while before going off in search of more species. We decided to head over towards the Patch / Piers area but the wind had moved around to SW and much stronger than forecast so although we COULD have fished it we decided to head back into the lea of the wind. Tried a few marks along the way without success and ended up near where we started. I had a Small Eyed 7lbs ish I think and Tony had a small Starry Smoothie. We called it a day after I'd caught a few more Mackerel to take home. Followed Ci-Ci in through Holes Bay. Nipped in the club house for a socially distanced "swift half" Lovely day out. Thank you Tony Jim Serenity Heading home L_res.mp4

Many salesmen have fallen foul of me for that one Martin.

Yes Greg but only a little one. Ben: reminds me of Me as a lad. Only had a few pike but they don't half go! Great photo.

Wicked ! Nice big garden Kam

Thanks Kam. I'll give it some thought. Too tired at the moment. Jim

Nearly bought one. It's signed me up for Prime . . . . . . which I didn't want. They can stick it now! Cheers anyway.

Very nice Steve. Tidy looking job.

I should think his arms a too sore to lift a beer! ( Well nearly ) It's a lovely job though. Well done Mike.

Fantastic finish on that Mike. Superb job ! Jim

Plenty of slobbering going on at the Boat show! Gonna miss it this year. Oh well maybe next year!

Quote! " They sure have (him and the hair), he won’t let us cut it though mate ! Soon he will look like cousin IT ! " Yes I can see the likeness.

A beautiful boat indeed Steve. I go onboard at the boat shows for a drool ! WAY outside of my price range though. Jim

Try these Steve.

Apple I think Steve. I'll convert for you

I posted this drawing back in 2017. Just add dimensions and you'll have a working drawing. Jim Bow Roller.pdf

Good advice Mal.

It's always a compromise & trade off. Enjoy your quest.

Beneteau Barracuda. 7, 8, or 9 if you're feeling wealthy. Jeanneau Merry Fisher Marlin looks very similar but I would step on the barracuda and equivalent Jeanneau. The Beneteau doesn't tip but the Jeanneau does (in my experience) If I had some dosh that's what I'd go for but of course it's all down to your choices. Even the Barracuda. 7 can have a live well.

My Brother has bought something now but still needs the engine. I just thought that would be ideal for him. I was offered something else from a club member today but my Brother had already parted with some coin of the realm !

Lovely
