14ft djon fishing boat

[Axe]

these things take time...i prefer other sites to fleabay...ones that have a price you can haggle down rather than up! lol

[big_sean]

i am not supprised it went fast it had a four stroke motor on it

beware the engine may of had the dreaded grommit problem which can cost a few bob to put right if it has not been done

keep looking and something will turn up

ebay is not really a good place to buy one as lots on there are dogs

i've seen the videos of them..fantastic job ...and for websites there pretty much the same..beware of scammers on gumtree..but best thing also is to wander around boatyards asking if there is any for sale.

how many jokes did fred crack when you were in!!

[mark1964]

Two jokes bud.first one got straight away quite funny.second joke laughed but tell u the truth didnt realy get it.lovely man though. He was puzzled by some hull plans.measurements were out.asked brother if he was a draghtsman.funny enough he was but few years back.only after left brother figured out problem.fred was working with a metric rule,and plans were drawn up in 50s.no metric then.at least thats what he thought the problem was.like i say nice man,shame no younger blood to pick up his trade.
