2008 2009 and 2010 Boat sales were probably at an all time low due to the recession. i see what you mean when you say plenty around older.
As for an outboard i have one and i find that i can do stuff with the engine that when drifting makes life so easy. Fuel economy is ok but i know an inboard would be cheaper on fuel but the purchase cost would be a lot higher. so it will ballance out but if the engine ever plays up its easier on an outboard than an inboard to replace. Most outboards are also covered by a 5 year waranty so it may be you end up with a boat with waranty still on it
Well the final page has been written and the book is completed. The little lady who I have come so fond of has now left leaving fond memories and a sad heart.
Today we who have sailed and fished on board Stingray Wave Bye Bye to the Lady who gave us all such pleasure and memorable days at sea.
Now for Richy and Those of us Known as Team Stingray Look forward to a new book to be filled with many a chapter of days fishing.
Eddie text me before, he was on the M1 south bound and Stingray went past him on its way to Sandbanks 4k a year for a berth down there the lad told me!!!!!
Richy are you sure Eddie was on the M1 and not on a river he may of had another dizzy turn and got the blue lines on the map mixed up.
Absolutely gobsmacked Graham, cos as I was having a bit craic with my mate who was driving ,about fishing on the boat, low and behold there she was on a trailer, 'Stingray' ganin down the road just south of Wetherby Services about 12 ish. Talk about coincidence, just wished I had a camera ready at the time. Gave her a fond farewell wave as she went on her way. Coudn't make this one up - unbeleivable.
