Never mind about your ECU I reckon your brain is scrambled Tomo

I think you'r all bloody crazy................but keep this thread on the BOIL and try and hatch out a few more ideas...... Tomo

Nige, I sent you an email over the weekend...as I have a mate that may be interested ...needs further details .....check email. Tomo

Do I ever do anything other than Social Drink Tomo

Well done to both of you.. and the new crew ...thats put paid to your trips...guess I'll have to look for alternate crew for the new boat!! Tomo

Well..........I've got 3 Boats.................. Tomo

You'll do for me, man......Can ya man make da rum punch as well?..plenty caribian spice on da beef steak for me and luv the jerk duck.... Tomo

Alun, Thats fine but don't you only cook fish?!! Tomo

Admit it ....even if its to yourself!

Always welcome mate!!....But I'll be looking for a chef....Just like Charlies got Tomo

Lads, Thank's for the encouragement!!!!........Just soooooo hope it does what it says on the packet Lots of D&D on the 1st UK outboard version.....with a lot of input from SA...to them its a walk in the park!.......With regards to the addition of foils... as far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out Tomo

Well Lads, The new boat Manta Ray ....is on its way .....Just a few pics of the build... She's now undergoing the fit out, a few more weeks, then sea trials....I'm now pacing up and down the floor boards!....with a lot lighter wallet Manta Ray Tomo

OMG Dave, I have still got one of those in my freshwater tackle along with the half bale arm Mitchell 300 and a an original Mitchell Princess......Am I really that old ? Oh and an aluminum Apolo Taperflash Rod.....(old Tank Ariel) Tomo

Well done Nige, I'm off doing the same next week with Rob......Just hope the weather holds...we might persuade him to do a couple of stints in the "Washing Machine"...as last time the Bass fishing was awsome...with lots of 12lb + fish...all returned for another day.... Tomo

And I believe in fairy's!!.. .I've had issue with all the new engines I have bought, and I can say that they have all been repaired under warranty....but the first thing they check is that the service schedule is up to date and that it was undertaken by an authorised agent/ service company....which you will find is always a main dealer for the engine, as that is part of the dealers pirks..... This was also the case for car dealerships until a few years ago...but alas the marine scene has not followed suit. When you encounter a major problem with an engine I have always found that if you have a quite chat with engineer, 9 times out of 10 they are already aware of the fault at the manufacturer, but unlike the motor industry they do not recall the engine, they just hedge their bets, as most boat owners only do an average of 30 engine hrs per year. If its a major fault they address the problem on next years model....I know this from first hand experience ...ask PaulD , we nearly run out of fuel coming back from Alderney(luckily we had spare tanks on board) all because of a known fault on the o2 sensor on my Honda 225!!! which costs about

Nige, Not as much as I have over the last 2 months Tomo

Hi Nige, Yet again, I'm reading all the high maintenance costs and issues that you , Charlie and others are or have had with these various inboard engines. I know it comes with the territory.......which still makes me have the opinion that outboards is possibly the way forward....although I am fully aware that it is not an easy conversion....but an outboard transom bracket in aluminium or fibreglass is a standard conversion over the Pond. Time will tell for me...but for leisure use....outboards come with a 5 or 6 year warranty....which I have found have always been honoured providing you keep to the maintenance regime, and now I don't think the fuel differential is the factor that it was a few years ago. Tomo

Hi lads, Has anyone got access to a tail lift van plus driver that I could hire for a couple of hours. I need to move an office printer and a couple of office chairs from West Parley to Christchurch as I am relocating my office. The printer is quite large so don't want to have to dismantle. Any time will suit...phone on 07966051421 or PM Tomo

That's fine Trev if he was, But they sent an email confirming the order had been processed and completed!! So if they can do that, why can't they respond to a simple request a couple of weeks later to state where it was or when it was dispatched, and I did give the option of responding via a voice mail, putting him on notice that if I got no response then I would be commencing a dispute procedure on Paypal....and still no response. I know what would happen if I treated my clients that way! Tomo

Any sort of response via a text, email or phone or even a recorded message on his mobile, to say he was not open or whatever, would have been something....but a total blank is not acceptable in anybodys view..... Tomo

Posted this thread on WSF as Rob suggested..... it appears I,m one of many, Just a complete con ...to get you to part with your hard eaned! and all the agro that goes with it, I only bought on the web, cause none of our local shops had the kit!!.. ..come to that neither did he!! Tomo

Hi Lads, Just a big word of warning!!!!! Beware of purchasing from this web site.... Boat and Tackle Orderd tackle from them payed by PayPal....chased delivery after a week and they had stated the order had been dispatched....numerous phone messages left,emails sent, texts sent..all got no response....eventually started a Paypal dispute stating goods not recieved...still no response...only from PayPal. Now I will have to wait for the drawn out process to make a claim and then see IF I get my money refunded..... Traced his trading address.....trades from his front room.......dosn't look like it from his web site Feel he needs a vist...... Tomo
