Enjoy!

Yes you can, and I am awaiting confirmation from Nick (Jo approved my leave this evening!). R

I have a 2 piece Tideline rod, it should be 1 piece!!! I found both boat today, free to anyone who has one / needs a spare rings etc as they have the funny braid style rings:

I only have the gunnel mount as in the picture. R

I have these. They are in used condition (a little faded). Does anyone want them before they go to landfill?

Hello! Welcome, please ignore some of the more "interesting" types and don't let them put you off!!! [emoji2]

Brian, do we now have to put our ages on the back of our engines for the Coast Guard? I assume you're add the 5)

I think I tried that email address earlier this week, it failed.

I would have sanded the bulk heads better if I had known!!!!

I'd go 5kg Bruce and 5+kg of chain (length depends on link size) and 10mm rope. As for aux, I'd rather have enough faith in main engine not to rely on one. I guess you would need the correct size & bracket to make it useable. I assume you would still steer with the main unit assuming staring hasn't broken), so you want it deep enough to be in the water below the hull, but not too low to get potentially swamped. Rob

I think I read they "mid-water pair trawl" for the spawning bass.

There is no let up on the bass yet: Trawlers in Orange :0(

This momentum gathered needs to be kept moving!!! "Commission to adopt measures to protect sea bass stock (19/01/2015) The European Commission has announced a package of measures aimed at averting the collapse of the declining sea bass stock. In the first instance emergency measures will be implemented to ban pelagic trawling of sea bass during spawning season which runs until the end of April." http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/mare/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=20107

Alan, Try trailertek, often a wheel and tyre is the price of just the tyres locally! https://www.trailertek.com/acatalog/13_inch_wheels.html I have had great service from these guys, either by popping in to the shop (Micheldever) or online. Rob

Great Alan, welcome back to powered boating!

And even the hard to reach places got a coat:

Can you reduce the top prize and spread the prizes out a bit more? (Though I know is I at solely your comp)

You lot need to catch more fish! Now stop detracting from this thread!!!! [emoji3]

Enjoy Dave!

We have already had the discussion about the day bed of course Matt!

It looks like the boat was hit by another or more likely ended up on rocks. Either could have easily displacedn the cowling.

The story is about a birth being filed but the video is amazing footage of a thresher hunting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30747971
