14ft djon fishing boat

[canman]

I use to have a mk1 Reiver 15ft. Solidly built but flat bottomed. Like said, threw a lot of spray up due to the shape of the bow in a small swell, and in a following sea, running down the swell into the back of the next one, the boat would just about stop dead, with all your gear sliding to the bow. Flew on a flat calm sea though.

keep your chin up, and just because someone has PM'd him does not mean its sold it could be still available as the guy who sent him the message is in france so may be he wont wait till he gets home he he he

also go onto the boat owning and maintenance section of wsf and ask on there, when you decide to look people from all over the country will help and you will get sorted,

some dont even get advertised as they sell by word of mouth and on that site you have a very wide audience

not saying anything wrong with nesa but wsf does have a hell of an audience

looks a lovely boat..just been looking at the pictures on there..if you want i can forward them in a PM if you wish.

[mark1964]

had a look mate, engine looked good boat looked okay but on the third picture i recieved, looked as though it has damage of some sort.brother whos going halfers seen it when he zoomed pictures in.said theirs a crack, problably easy fixed but cant afford to take chance especially being first boat and all. didnt bother after that , but keep on looking cheers anyway.

[big_sean]

That crack you are looking at is it on the inside just coming down from where the oar holder is going towards the seat ???



Sean


Ps if it is its the safety wire which stops the rowlock falling into the sea !

[Axe]

i agree with the above.

[mark1964]

Didnt notice the crack until i had a closer look at it.thought it was superficial myself.didnt think it was a problem,anyway not a serious one.what do u think sean and axe.doesnt matter realy brother not interested anymore.bidding on a wilson flyer now.thanks for help lads.let u know how i do with the wilson flyer.he will probly have a excuse for this one too,well see.z

[Axe]

good luck on your flyer bid...great boats (what i want when i buy one)...i'll keep an eager eye on the thread!

make sure it is a wilson flyer and not a Dory...they look VERY similar but the flyer has 2 lines down the side...dory just has one.
this is a wilson flyer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17ft-Wilso...#ht_500wt_1202

this is a pilot dory http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17-foot-Wi...ht_1349wt_1185

im not saying theres anything bad with a dory...just a wilson flyer is worth more and you may get stung on the price.

[mark1964]
