Safe and Sound.

Well the boat arrived today at 12.30 :, and was i glad to see it . Even more pleased i didnt tow it up as it dwarfed the Landrover Discovery that was towing it. We had to wait an hour for the tide to come in a bit for the boat to float off the trailer as usual whenever i get a new boat it always seems to be big tides and low water, but all went well. I had a bit play in the river and what you lads said is right about reverse, but slow speed throttle response is really good and a good turning circle as well. Managed to get it onto the mooring ok without making any loud bangs Richy. All in all a really stressful day but but totally over shadowed when the boat was safe and sound on the mooring and i could stand back and admire it .

If you need any crew for her christening giz a shout hehehe, I would love to have something like that, but that money is beyond me at the moment.
I think my next upgrade will be a seahog trooper.

Couple of stiff whiskeys should settle things down Chris. Looking forward to photo's. Thought you bought a trailer to go and collect it, but thats saved you a long tow on very busy roads though also looking forward to your first fishing report. Nice one

[The Jester]

Yes that was the boat that went down to the glass centre, 2 phone calls later and he found the ramp. Took a few photo's tonight just as the rain started and the light faded, hope you can see them ok.....Do you live in sunderland Codseeker, if so pop down no probs..

[The Jester]

Yes i'll be watching the weather, 5 weeks without a boat, so if its rough at the weekend i'll be anchored in the river flattie bashing.....

Beautiful boat very nice bet your chomping at the bit to get cod over the side

[mick dunn]

well done. The boat looks lovely. I retire in 2 and half years and fancy a boat. It would be interesting to see how much all of your venture has cost-the boat looks expensive.

Cheers Mick.
