Thanks Steve for these comments, I have been on a 815 on several occasions(generally in good conditions) and I agree on the noise. Also I’m not that keen on the throttle control as it looks a bit flimsy . But, they do have a nice layout. I am looking forward to viewing the Rodman as it has 3 berths, one double and a single, without having to convert the lounge !! Due to the engine being under the deck rather than the cabin floor ! Must say I’m leaning more toward the Rodman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for these Jim, both lovely boats however not the style I’m after. I can see what you dribble about though ! 🤤 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Rodman does seem on the web to have a slightly longer deck area, thanks for the heads up though. Another compromise to consider !!!! Also I need to add that the MF does have a sun deck on the cabin roof, access by a ladder by the patio door. Does yours not have that ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Greg, it’s not going to be an out and out fisher, as I have to now consider the Mrs who wants to get back into the Marina sunbathing and the odd weekend away! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are restricted by only having a 140ltr fuel tank, they can be fitted with an optional 190 ltr tank but that’s still quite restrictive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello learned members, I am considering (yes already) a change of boat. I now have the urge to push further afield than my Parker can take me. So I’m considering either a Rodman 810 (single VP D4 225hp on shaft) or a MF815 (single Nanni 200hp shaft)! Any constructive thoughts and comments for either model greatly received for thought !

Oh, not sure what happened there ? X5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.gov.gg/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=111889&p=0 According to this it’s catch and release only ! [emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasn’t but, I bloody am now !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any taxi drivers who are club members by any chance ?? I’m after some travel prices! Cheers Neil Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great work Ray, bet you saved a few quid also ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy birthday Jim. From what I can tell that cakes almost as big as your boat [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a good point, I’m sure many will start if the enquiries come in and the trend starts to change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I mean so, if that kind of fishing does take off then you can kind of understand tackle shops not making a noise about it ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would a section of the tackle sales not go up ? Ie lures and jellies etc. If catch and release is all that’s allowed then surely people will change their habits and buy more gear for spinning instead of live/fresh bait fishing ? Or is that being too optimistic ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Black bream and hounds. Bring them on !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That makes no sense though !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think if it’s gut hooked and you can’t save it, it’s ok to take. Don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure that’s the rule. At least it was last season! [emoji226]Maybe somebody more in the know will correct me ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
