Looks like a job Charlie

We have not fished off a Cheetah yet. Yes we were on the one at Southampton and did the deal with Sean whilst sat on her. Sean is raising the cabin moulding a bit so hopefully we wont keep banging heads on the overhang. Colin

Just trying to add another pic

Na Trev not fitting Hysu Foils, already spent too much and my research dosen't show there would be much, if any advantage on a smaller Cat . Yeah Pete OLD Salty Sea Dog ! Charlie would appreciate instructions on how to add the photo's, I did try but didn't get anywhere.

Well I have ordered the HDS7 and structure scan just got to wait for the next delivery, mid March. I raised question over the patent issue and was assured that this issue was resolved. We shall see eh? Colin

Well, work is underway on the new boat. She dosen't look like the one we were measuring up the other week yet, but I am sure the guys at Cheetah Marine know what they are doing. I tried to put pics on this post but couldn't make it work so if anyone is interested there are some pics in my photo album. Colin Ps if anyone can talk me through how to put pics on or stick them on for me that would be good.

Yeah I think I will go down the Lowrance route and take the risk, afterall the hds7 is a nice bit of kit anyway. I will be running a stand alone furuno radar,a seperate ais reciever, and some other bits and bobs which are sat in my cupboard. Can't wait to start playing with it all but will have to wait till the cat is finished. Colin

B***er just when I thought I was going to buy the Lowrance they have a patent issue. Now what to do. Thanks for the pics. So where would I buy a Hummingbird? Colin

I am looking at the hds7 with structurescan can't stretch to the 8 it's quite a big price jump. I was asking just to find out how easy it is to operate and read as I am a bit of a technophobe. All I want to do is find fish and catch them not spend time pressing buttons and swearing at my electronics. Thanks for the replies I shall be making my decision in the next couple of days. Colin

Has anyone got a structure scan yet. If they have what is the verdict on them. The advertising blurb is great but what are they like in practice. Colin

Hi Alun and Adam I now have the long promised Demijohns for you. There are 16 so you can split them up how you like. Give me a shout to arrange pick up. Colin

As it happens I had already booked last week to go and see Matt Sydenham at 3.30 today. I had trouble finding MES so pulled in and rang them to find out where they are. I asked for Matt, only to be told he was in Romsey and no one was expecting me. He had obviously forgotten I was going to see him, even though he had told me it was in his diary. I am not impressed with their service so far.!!!! Colin

Can anyone tell me where I can get a good deal on electronics. Colin

We will go with whatever is decided. We wont be at the meeting have to go to bl**dy Spain Shame Eh? Bobi will be fishing so no worries on that score. Colin

Our new boat is not even in the mold yet but if all goes to plan we intend to tag along if that's ok. Not done that sort of distance yet but have done the classroom theory, it will be nice to put into practice with club members around for support. Might even catch some fish too. Colin
