Where did you read 2 x petrol 90hp? It says "Engine 1 x petrol 90hp, Suzuki (2009)" You still celebrating the New Year Rob and seeing double? See Brian i don't make everything up! Rob

Hope it goes for him! not sure about "Engine 2 x petrol 90hp, Suzuki (2009)" I thought he only had a single 90. Rob

Crickey, next you lot will be learning Japanese!! http://youtu.be/hOIcpTWhaHU

Alfie, next time check to see which section the lot is in, this one was in Jokes!!!! All the best, Rob

Indeed Jim, Mick has paid bugger all so far and has bugger all!!

Just be aware and ensure we are talking the same language. "Thru" hull as the yanks like to call it means a hole in the hull and the transducer is on the underside of the boat. A true skin fitting. Transom mount is as we all know, the standard transducer that comes with many units, for external mounting on the transom. Here, through hull, tends to mean, a transom mount transducer sending and recieving through the hull material (grp etc). Often mounted on a bed of silicon, plasticine, epoxy or in an oil filled reservoir. Hope that helps, Rob

Or he watched it without his glasses!

I expect it looses signal as you are getting air between the hull and water, try setting it further back or maybe someone with the same hull can advise. If you are on a wet mooring then in hull would be prefered! Rob

What is the max HP for the tub? How many does it carry (on a good day!!!!)? Cat c or d?

Have a good day chaps!

Sounds like a joke present to me!!

I guess I am boring! Anyone who buys me a useless / unwanted present is told immediatley, therefore, I got to get a load of bits from psac and ukhooks and give them away to be wrapped up!! Though, not sure how much use the cod hooks will be this season! Rob

Happy Christmas to one and all. Rob

You can't say that this far out! To be honest, the flounder comp should have been fished last weekend, it was lovely! Let's not believe everything the weather man says! Rob

Jim - are you saying Tiddler isn't perfect? I had those dole fins on mine when i bought it and switched for smart tabs (the SX black plastic ones). You can try em (but need to drill holes in the anti-ventilation plate). There are holes in mine from where they were fitted - no problems from this. I am sure the big engine manufacturers spend 1000's of

There is a folding cuddy as an option - i have one on mine and AJ on his open Orkney. I haven't used mine for a couple of years - only when anchoured and very windy (not often). For drifting for bass, flatties ect, to be able to walk around the craft unrestricted - is great and makes it a much much bigger boat!!!

The Nordic 6020c is the same hull as my Terhi, and I go south of the needles, fish the Bridge single handed And the ledge regularly. Take it to Dartmouth (on trailer) and fish the skerries and start point light house. Both those trips are 6 to 7 n miles. I have been from holes bay to St. Albans, about 14n miles. Weather has been very snotty on some of these trips and the Terhi range are great. Enough power to push on in some (small) snotty sea, or surf a big sea! Min 25hp I would say required. Or, 30knts on the flat stuff. They have a really high freeboard and go through anything, not even worrying about a wave over the bow (ask Charlie A, he has made the most of his flotation suit a few times onboard). Self bailing deck soon takes care of it. The security of a positivly buoyant hull (abs/ foam sandwich) has advantages if you get in to trouble and gives confidence! I have left my boat on a mooring with the bung out, when there was heavy rain over night, no problem, the water only floods in 4" deep and that is it!!! Pop round and take a look of you want (oh err!). Rob

The weight you can tow unbraked is 750kgs, 50% of min kerb weight of car or manufacturers specification for unbraked. (We nearly bought a Honda CRV 4x4 but it's unbraked limit is only 500kgs!!! Even though it weighs best part of 1800kgs!). Check the plate on your car rather than websites for information! Rob

As long as the car is within it's maximum permissible weight then you will be legal. Rob

Well a WP4 is 300kgs and with engine and a little kit it will be 400. A trailer will be over 130kgs, braked more like 175kgs. So which ever option you go for, braked will be your only option. My boat is 300kgs empty, with engine (90kgs) and 2 anchors, chain, 150m rope, battery, 37 litres of fuel, etc and 180kg trailer it was (830kg) and over the 750kg unbraked legal towing limit. I have upgraded the trailer to braked and that has added a few 10's of kilos. So please bare in mind how much a "light boat" can weigh with your gear in it! (The trailer manufacturer didn't know how much the trailer weighed and it was 30kg more than they expected!) Rob

Sounds good!

I can recommend the Terhi range (previously imported by Yamaha uk), Finnish made and not heavy old glass fibre, vacuum formed abs! (No need to be sensitive to scrapes and beaching it). 6020c is nice for fishing, unless your sensitive and require a cabin/permanent cuddy! Rob

3 prizes for 30 anglers and our donation turned down, what a weird lot some of you yakkers are!!!! But you seem 'ok' so far Steve! Well done on taking part, did you get up to 30knts behind the RNLI? Rob
