do tell???
i bought the boat from a guy who had the boat about 6 months and only used it twice!
before that it was sold through southwater marine here in hamble.
I am planning on popping in there to see if i can get a bit more history on the boat at some point,
The pic's i've posted are from the Ebay add. there not pic's i've taken myself if that puts any doubts to rest!
I've got some that i took the other day that i'l stick up now

It may be that eBay was where i saw those pics and i'm simply confusing this boat with another one that someone complained about it having a soggy arse. Age & 'sometimers' kicks in once in a while at this end.

Hahahahaha! No wonder your suspicions were up.
This all fits in nicely with the stories I’ve been told and the guy’s name was Oliver so that fits too.
Well now that’s been sorted and maybe my credibility has been restored I can continue to be a part of this exclusive club.

OH, and by the way he never did fix that sticky shifter!
when i went to buy it, it wouldn't go into gear ("well thats hever happened before!") hahaha!

[mikeyt]

Did he fix the trim indicator? That's a PITA job cuz it means removing the outdrive to run the wires.

I did notice that it was a bit temperamental! As was the depth gauge. Oh yes and the tacho
I’m planning on getting it out of the stack over the next couple of weeks and bringing it home for a good once over, which I think it's long overdue!
The boat is cosmetically in excellent condition. But I think it's not been looked after, not too say that it's been abused. Just not loved!

[Andy b]

well the toy box is filling up quick, spose i'd better make the effort and bring the boat home at some point

Well i managed to get down to the boat stack today and get the boat lifted onto the trailer i bought for it,
Not a bad fit even if i do say so myself
Nice quiet drive home before the traffic builds and she's now home.
The evenings are dark here this time of year, so i'l probably have to wait till the weekend before i get to start giving the boat a good once over.
One things for sure, i'm going to have to do something with the graphic's!
all sugestions greatfully recieved...........

it does fit nicely on it's chariot.
