Yep - have looked at the airstone method - works well, mainly by airating the water, and thus keeping the temp down, which is the main consideration in keeping the eels alive. A bucket with a battery run airpump will do a good job also, cheap and doesnt take any more space.

OK alan - pick me one up, and if you could bring it next weekend that would be great. Ive put you down as crew - can you PM me your contact tel no. and Ill call you in the week with times etc. Cheers Adam

Alan, Where are they based? Ill have one if you dont mind - I can come and pick it up to save you, no problem. Youre welcome to a trip on the boat anytime - can you make weymouth on the 22nd - we are struggling for crew??

Dave: Is this Kev's toy, or yours??..I thought you were selling bagleys honour? Nice boat though - best of wishes ont he maiden trip!

Well taht surprises me paul!...their are plenty of sppedboat type craft out their which dont reach 30 knots, yet are still speedboats!....clearly it is best to check with your insurer. Dan: 60 knots!!!!,,,bloody hell!!...what boat do you have?!

Like the idea Mike...the 1st blue bin is ideal - just needs to be a little smaller - 30l size really,..oh an Doncaster is a long way!!!

....stay at home ...and come fishing to Weymouth...yeah..like that would go down well with Debs!!!

Yep, correct - if you wanna come - well fine you a space - though it is the other way round to usual...we have more boats than crew!!! As it stands: BW - Needs 1 crew Splash Out - Needs 1 crew Maverick - Needs 1 crew Neo - Needs 1 crew I will be phoning eddie - Pink Squid, John Manser - Maltese and Mark Adams - Enticer to see if they wanna come also. Mark Bessant - can you make it...? Crew: Mad Mike - confirmed. (conmfirmed as what...??!! ) Kam (Newboy) - unconfirmed? Paul J - unconfirmed BillyBoy - unconfirmed..need to phone. Charlie - unconfirmed If anyone wants to come, let me know. I think the Sun 22nd is looking the best date for everyone.

Got you the first time mikey!!!

Got our new toy last weekend - we went for the Rav4 in the end - picking it up Friday. its the 2l 4wd 3 door version, so Ill give it a bash for a few weeks, and report on how it performs. Adam

Yep...know what you mean. This one is made from slightly more pliable plastic, so shouldnt be a problem. The main issue for me is that I need to use gravity to drain the outlet, so this needs to be higher. The plastic box isnt tall enough, so I either have to drill the hull to make a lower outlet - or get a bigger box!...Id prefer the 2nd option! Where can I get a plastic drum?

I didnt post it here as a comparison!...Ive been visiting the FBAC site for over 2 years, and whilst it is good, it hardly changes, and doesnt have a forum. IMHO this is the best site around (baised??) - I just thought the link was a good idea? We discussed at the last meeting why so many people join the forum, and not the club, and whether they found it a little off putting - well maybe a piece such as ont he FBAC site, that they could print off for info on the club and surrounding areas would be a good idea? Bearing in mind that a smaller sample would be better, im sure a few of us could all take a section each and contribute? We could also print a few off for distribution at events like the jumble....?

WOW!!!! A trigger!...did you get a photo? What did it weigh?..as far as Im aware there isnt a club record for a trigger???? What a catch, Id love to get one of them. Did you take the co-ordinates, as triggers usually inhabit a very specific area of a reef, and it you have caught one, you may catch another!!!!

Kevs new toy???,,pray do tell?!!! I thought you were in the market also?....what has he got then?

It will depend on the actual top speed of the boat. I think it is about 12/15 knots - one of the others will confirm this. Basically doesnt matter what your boat looks like, if it can go over 15 knots then it is classed as a speedboat. Adam

Well done that man!

Thanks Pete - sounds like they will last longer - where are Spaceage??

Have a look at this: http://www.fbac.co.uk/General%20Informatio...20Issue%202.pdf Do we think a similar - slighly more basic, would be a good idea for this site??

The windows on BW have begun to perish - they have thousands of minute skin fractures in them from the flexing of the boat. Before Warrior qoute me a silly price - anyone know where I can get this from? It is a smoked colour polycarbonate, about 4mm thick, and would need to be cut excatly to size. Adam

At the boat jumble I picked up the kit to fit me out with a live-bait well. My problem was thus (and im sure many of the smaller boats may agree?) I fish live bait once in a blue moon, probably about 5/6 times a year. But when I do fish with it, it dies, hence the need for a live well. The live wells on the 165, are too small. I need it cheap and portable. I bought at the jumble: 1x small bilge pump, 2 x skin fittings, 2m flexi hose. Then off to B&Q

Paul, Can we make the 'for more info on the club' link on the main page, a little bigger and prominent, I have only just noticed it! Also can you put the same link on the top bar? Cheers Adam

Same ere'...could BW be traded in already for a bigger and sexier Warrior? Imagine your 195 with the top moulding cut off, and the wheelhouse from Loyal Royal glued on....thats how it looked to me....?? Time will tell!

Have been 'op north' for the past 3 days on business, and was near Chorley, Lancs. on Tues - so decided to bite the bullet and visit Warrior. I have been after the sliding half canopy since I got the boat, but the price and distance to travel had previosly been a factor. Anyway, they had one I could buy, so after parting with

...blame it on the innocent!!!!
