Sounds like you enjoyed it Reg - hope it was a good day. Rob

All, Florocarbon - which do \ have you you used and which do you prefer and why? Some say that the Gold packet Berkley doesn't knot well - I have found it OK but needs lube!!! How does the Vanish stand up? Cheers Rob

I would be up for that - it will be like going to the opticians "Which is clearer?" "is that better?" "what can you see now?"

Jim will be in hot persuit!

I have a spare power lead with Red connectors - But will be away next week - though PJ has my spare spare lead!!!! Rob

Craig, This is gonna cost ya a new wardrobe!!!!! It's your funeral! Was nice knowing you! Let us know if a frying pan round ya head hurts more than a treble! Laters Captain Hook. Rob

Brian - you need to hope customs don't pick it up or you will pay VAT on top of that! They got me once, I had to pay the VAT at a postoffice before I coudl get my hands on the item.

I woudl fancy a go at the triggers from round the corner myself - but is it too early? Alun?

Thanks for the update Paul - bet your still smiling. The local Bass will never be the same now!!! Rob

When in Ski Marine Bournemouth I saw the guy sold some outboard mounting brackets - they were hydraulic and a few hunderd quid compare the nearly a grand for a full unit from the manufacutrer. Possibly overkill for a 40 but they were very bling and nicely machined. Could be an option if they do a smaller one - this one I saw was BIG! Rob

NOW SOLD We think!!! The club doing what it does best!! Thanks for the tip and passing on the details Alun. Or friendly fishmonger \ squid dealer Simon Hutching is now taking up boating!!! Rob

Welcome, There are a few guys who do what you are after - Paul J has a boat on a trailer in XChurch - but he is on holiday fishing for Stripers at the mo. Wedger has a boat on a mooring there Niggle has a bost on a pontoon Perhpas PM them and ask the questions, they should be able to shed some light on your requests. Rob

My father-in-law is selling his boat - it is very similar to mine but lighter weight (Hull 200Kg and only a 25hp engine). So really really easy to launch on own and tow + nice high freeboard. She was new in 2006 from BHG and been serviced by them every year I believe and has been used only a handful of times. I think it is at a great price and should go pretty quick, so don't hang about!!!

Charlie, I will fire the full versions to you later in the week when Jo returns with the camera! Cheers Rob

Few pics - if anyone wants the big version let me know! I call this one "Best Buddies". This boat was following us closely! Cleaning up in the sun back in Poole.

Illegal bump - you can't bump after one day!

Which Dave? the new one!

Cor blimey!!!!!!!! Nice work!!!

I will have a look at mine tonight - not sure I took very many though, to many turbos to keep me busy!!!

Yes - that was my first guess on April 12th! Therefore I feel I should help haul fish over the gunnels at some point!!! Have a safe and enjoyable maiden voyage. Rob

How fast is that? 4300 means nothing unless you translate that to speed- then work on litres per mile. Imagine woudl be a good comparison (Paul F's Orkney 20 with Yam 80) Rob
