great white

Thanks Trevor

Really Chris They are far to young that why I waited until Dan was 13, he was the one laying up the inside of hard to reach places. [They were smaller lads once] I have a picture somewhere I may add later Adam, Pete Trew has some other sealant adhesive in stock. stays workable in the tube longer than sikaflex, and a much bigger range of colours you can probably get it through your trade

Thanks Guys

Thanks Rob Was thinking a bit stronger than 10lb mate, lol

We are off to do some fishing in very clear water The recomendation is to use fluorocarbon traces to the lures Which ones are popular Why do you use that one And where do you get yours? Thanks guys Charlie

There was a time when you had to be a Club Champion to fish this comp. It was an honour to be selected to fish and represent your Club. We do not have a series of comps any more and therefore no Club Champion, Perhaps all of the winners of the various Club competitions should have a fish off, winner is then that years Club Champion.

50 not out buddy Hope you had a great day

Happy birthday mate hope you have a good one

Thanks very much for that Dave I built that one in the garden too and was about half way through when Sam was born We had her for 15 years and she was a great boat for the variety of things that we used her for, including teaching the boys to fish. She was not the long range boat that Alfresco is, but a great fishing boat none the less. Certainly landed a few fish on her. I wonder if she is still being used for shark fishing from Looe by the chap we sold her to. Charlie

Nice fish Sam Great option for a wet windy day in half term Sorry to hear it took it out on Rob's finger, but that will be a good bar story

Nice try Brian You would think they would tell you when you can not use your boats, especialy at half term. A proper marina would Lol

Happy birthday mate Glad that you had a good day

Glad that is sorted Steve Great white had a similar set up and worked fine until the fluid leaked, a simple fix, I resealed the tank with epoxy putty, then glassed it in.

Is handlining allowed Or Jammy git Just a couple of thought that spring to mind, lol

If shooting through paint degrades it that much I would not try shooting through the hull. Mine is simply the standard lowrance skimmer transducer, that has been epoxied on the inside of the hull. It is shooting through the hull, 5 coats of epoxy and many of antifoul paint. tracks the bottom at cruising speed [mine not Steve's] and picture improves when we slow a bit

If the battery version proves to slow, you can have a look at mine if you wish. Charlie

I used the syphon for years on Great White and Alfresco, but even though I upgraded to the larger size for alfresco it is a bit slow for multiple drums. and the drums had to be fairly high up to get the syphon working well. Last year I bought a 12volt version of what Swellboy described from Quay West Chandlers. it works very well dropped into the drums, pumps 25 ltrs in no time, did three drums yesterday in about 10 minutes. pumped it straight from the drums in the Marina Trolley so saves my back lugging them about. I have a few cigarette lighter type sockets around the boat and I just plug it into one of them. I am sure the battery ones will be great for smaller volumes of fuel.

Happy Birthday buddy I hope that you have a great day

Happy birthday Martin Glad you had a good day

Put my new chart into the plotter on friday and moved the screen to some areas we fish It seemed to show lots of contours and wrecks, but some saved wrecks were not that close to the charted positions Seems well worth having just for the contours I look forward to using it on a few trips

Looks like fun

Does not look like a cheap option, and I am not sure about the bouncy ride Looks exciting though Probably cheaper to buy a bigger cat, that takes the sea better like Manta Ray. Charlie

Looking great Love the two big screens When I gave you the seat heights they were the bench seats by the table Your helm seat may need to be higher, I thought I had mine right then after launching lifted it two inches to get better view from windows, let me know if you would like me to check measurements. Looks like you have plenty of room to make the box taller if you want, more vent space around the fridge could help Charlie

Welcome to the Club We have a huge variety of skills and experiances. The more that you join in the more you will get out of being a Member. You may also want to look at a few training courses, I am sure Coddy will be along to update you with what courses are available. When you get the boat you may also want to have it checked by the RNLI who will give you free advice on the boat and the equipment onboard. Charlie

Are you cutting hatches in them Adam? A lot easier to do it now than later
