hi, Thanks for replies... Both Boats are cathedral hull (bumpy ride?) The Dory has a steering console but no cuddy or anything similar, and built in storage at the front of boat. The Wilson is literally just a bare hull with no deck and the Transom is knackered and needs to be replaced. At some point it has has a cabin which has been removed. At first i liked the idea of the wilson because i could get it rebuilt bit by bit and have it how i want it, would i be looking at big money to have the floor and transom fitted? I worry about foam filled hull on a dory becoming waterlogged if there is any damage to the hull? (not sure if this dory is foam filled though, need to find out) I took a couple of pics of both and i will try to add them in a min. Cheers Jon

Hi, i have been offered a 17foot Dory its got a 40hp outboard. I was interested what other peoples views are on them im not sure if it is foam filled or how 2 tell the difference between one that is and is not, i would only want to go to poole patch at the furthest. Can anyone advise me of good and bad points and things i should look out for please? Also what they are like on the water if it gets a bit choppy? The same guy has also got a Wilson Flyer Hull for sale which has no deck and the Transom needs to be replaced is it something to avoid? Is there anyone in the club that would be able to do the work needed or recommend someone that could help me out? thanks for any comments

Second that Alun it was an enjoyable day, thanks to Paul for the invite. Lovely weather and some nice Fish in the box... Happy Days

Thanks very much for everyones help iv got a better idea of what to look for now. I like the look of an Alaska 500 so i think i'll try and save a bit more money for a couple of months and look around christmas!! cheers Jon

Cheers Graham. Think im being put off by the idea of a plymouth pilot now! Can anyone think of another sort of boat which would be a nice little fishing boat with a cuddy for abound

I kept my rib on a pontoon this year but it was just under 4m, as i want to go bigger i would keep it on a swing mooring. I think 18ft would be the biggest id want to go, id like a cuddy of sort but it all depends what i can afford at the time. Cheers Jon

Thanks! We would normally fish old harry area, poole patch and places like that. Any other suggestions? I would only be able to spend a max of

Hi, I have taken my rib out of the water now for the winter. I think I'm going to sell it and look for something with a bit more fishing space, I have seen a few plymouth pilots and was wondering what other peoples opinions are about them. Any help and advise would be much appreciated. Thanks Jon

Bit late now but Happy Birthday Rory. hope you had a good one mate

A mate of mine bought the rovex lure rod we both really like it, now iv got one 2! Only

Fair play to you paul! Thanks for a nice day i'll just keep waiting for my first cod! It was nice to fish on a bigger boat for a change. thanks again Jon.

Hello Dave, I'm a heating engineer/plumber, fully qualified and work for Pre heat. Are you looking for someone to come and work full time or just the odd job evenings and weekends? I'm in Upton my mobile is 07891289709. Cheers, Jon

Hello, was just wondering if anyone would have a space for me Sunday? Wanted to go out fishing but haven't really got enough experience of my own boat as haven't had the time to take it out much. Cheers Jon

Hello again, Mine wont be back until next week. Bloke at work said i can use his for the weekend so if you want to use that one you can. I'll pick it up either tomorrow or Friday, I'm working in Wokingham everyday at the mo but live in Upton, when do you want it? cheers Jon

Alright Charlie, I've got a core drill with a 150mm bit, but its going for repair tomoro, if i get it back by friday you are welcome to use it, if its not back i might be able to get hold of one from someone at work, i should be able to let you know tomoro. let me know if its any use. Jon

Hi rory, I have sent an email to enquire and im waiting to be contacted about it. What did the check include? Have you been out on your boat yet? Thanks jon

Yeah that does make sense. Any ideas which ones are worth buying and what sort of money im looking at? Thanks guys.
