  • If you could afford it.

    Looking at different charter fishing boats, Aquastar, Aquabell, Lochin etc, if you had the choice, which one would you buy. and why would it be better than the others. I'm not talking about a new one, but something around 50K-60K. Just need to put the lottery on now .

      Very true, but the boats i mentioned are more than capable for the job. I wouldn't like to think i was going out on a boat that wasn't built to go out x amount of miles, by being too small.
      I'm due a few quid maybes next year, so i'm doing my homework now.

                        It would have to be a catamaran of some sort for me, better sea keeping qualities, more deck space, less lost days and two main engines pushing a much smaller area of below the waterline hull thought the water resulting in better fuel consumption.

                            Coddy if i do get something, you can be my skipper , and i'll pay you with all the macky you catch. .
                            Joking aside, i've met Coddy a couple of times and he's a canny fella (although you don't reply to my PM's ). He knows a hellava lot more about fishing than i do, as i've only just started last summer.
                            I can't believe how much i love going fishing and miss it when i'm not there. Though, our lass wouldn't agree, she can't see what the fuss is all about .
                            As for owning a boat, it would be a dream come true. I've read enough threads to know it wouldn't be easy with bad weather, breakdowns etc, but it's something one day i hope to do.
                            What sort of certificates or licenses do you need to get sorted.
