Sorry to hear about your bad news Paul,The only deterant for them bas***ds is pain or the fear of getting caught .As we all know getting caught by the old bill is no deterent cos I dont believe judges live on the same plannet as the rest of us.Them and there barresters ,lawyers and solicitors are too busy just creaming a very nice lifestyle with leagal aid funded buy the taxpayer.. I think teckno will help,with almost everybody carrying a mobile these days an automatic message if someone messes with your boat. I suspect we could all be more aware and look out for anyone aboard other boats and make a point of chatting to them.. If they are up to no good they will give abuse or get very evasive. Personally Id be in favour of booby traps.but if it didnt finish them off they would probably sue you. Johnnyb.

Oh yes thanks for the link Paul.Looking at the actuators it looks like they are coulour coded with a cable tie (pink 40, blue 60 .I thought I needed 60 blue but the existing are pink. Confused Johnnyb. PS. Brian what colour are yours...

Yep ,your dead right Brian Ive just checked yet another websight and ( boats 15-19ft engine 60-140hp =sx60 gas actuator.looks like Ill be buying my baby an early Christmas pressy. where would we be now without the internet.Probably spend a couple of hours on the phone anoying people

Thanks Derek I should have checked there in the first place I checked my locals but they are mainley river boats on the Thames so they never get much above 4 knots.They have different sizes at force 4,( 30 ,40,60 ,and 80,) I think the wing parts are all the same,>> and the sizes may be the pressure in the piston .On the web sight there isnt any info on boat lenght etc.Ill have to give them a ring.... Thanks again Johnnyb.

Last time out I thought the boat was slightly leaning whilst under power. Ive just noticed one of the smart tabs is flapping about with no tension on the shock absorber arm thing.They are called Nauticas smart tabs.I presume I can just replace the arm,anybody got any ideas,and where is the best place to get them? many thanks Johnnyb.

Oh yes and the run<<<<<<<<<

The first thing I need is a bigger van to tow it up and down the M3,and of course get the slipway at Muddyford widened.

The funniest ones are always so so true to life Im sure many of us can relate some of these.How about<<< GETTING PUFFED OUT WHILE WINDING THE WINCH HANDLE

excuse my ignorance Dave but what does FPO stand for I presume its her indoors. only thing I can think of is Frigging Pain IN the Orafice. (hope she dont see this)

WellI got back to warriors and asked them to clarify why the windows were being damaged and this was the reply.... Its mainly wind chaffing that takes off the protective uv coating off the window maybe felt lining would help[ we just recommend you don

I think Ill send Warriors another email and try to get some clarification.It doesn,t seem to make much sense to me.But why are some of our members replacing their windows on Warriors?? Someone somewhere must know the answer.....

Hi John , unfortunately the all over covers will destroy the windows in no time flat that

yes thanks Graham ,I bought some cheap tarpaulings for my old boat but the sun just seems to disolve them.I suprised warriors dont make one for it, Im sure it would be a seller without a doubt ..think Ill send them an email....

Hi lads , my new warrior 165 has a trailing cover and a half cannopy.I still get leaves and bits falling onto the cuddy and sides.I would like to buy a full cover that goes right over the whole thing as I polish it one day and its got crap all over it the next.Ive seen some on ebay that might do the job but if they are not big enough to cover cuddy and over the rubber edging it could be a total waste of money.Anybody with some experience and advice please help. Thanks in anticipation Johnnyb.

I feel like a dog with 6 pr**ks in a steet full of lamposts.These 165s are really the dogs dangleys. Pics to follow. Johnnyb.

For anyyone wracking there brains all weekend its . THREE STEPS TO HEAVEN!!!! wos a hit when I was a teenager.I can remember 40 years ago but cant remember what I had for breakfast Oh well Thats Life?? Johnnyb.

As the old song goes ( That sure sounds like heaven to me ) Sorry to hear your bad news about your boat,there is only one thing that deteres them scumbags and it involves pain .I hope they get what they deserve. Johnnyb.

Thanks for the suport Martin,I hope to be back on the water soon as the wife wants to watch the air show from an anchor in the bay.Personaly Iwould rather anchor a little further out and drop a line. Good luck Martin, fantastic BBQ buy the way. Johnnyb.

Hi Lads, Good news I sold my Bonwitco "Bay Star" had a really strange feeling as it was towed away. Sad as I could not re-live the fun I've had on it over the past 3 years. Happy because I can now replace it with a Warrior. Any one know of any 165's a couple of years old not on the regular sites e.g. B&O and FAF Boat preferrably with an ETEC 75 HP please PM me. I am a fisherman without a boat. Please Help! Johnny B

Just what the doctor ordered.Cheers this should get me catching something else apart from them pesky macs.Dont get me wrong I love em but it can get a little boring at times. Johnnyb.

. The lab test indicated abnormal lover function. ouch ooo ouch that sounds painfull

ah its alright I just found it.It was a post by Coddy in January.Having said that a tape glued to the side off the boat would be easied. pitty it only does bass,I dont catch many of them but after tasting them at the barby (beautifull) they are definately a target.Thanks Paul Il chase that one up. Johnnyb.

Brian dont give Sh.B. any ideas.I dont mind a little bit of a wrestle but when it comes to fistycuffs and rolling pins ,Im out of there. Johnnyb.

Is that Martin doing a bit of moonlighting???

They say you should do 1 thing every day that scares you.Well that would do me for 6 months...... Clean pants please..THANKYOU Johnnyb.
