there are hoodies? ☺️

heres pugwash! recent purchase and my 1st boat - cant wait to get out in her!

Stickers arrived today - thanks Andy! they look very good quality - nice thick vinyl - will post picks once they're on the boat!

thanks - that great! - seen it done a few times on charter boats, and I get the principle, I'll practice a few times in shallower water, and the previous owner did say he'd come out and show me how as well!

alderney method - no windlass!

best bit is - I live 2 mins from the boat - so will be out in the evenings and weekends! - cant wait to get up to speed as soon as I can do my PB2 course.....

here's the engine.....

great boat - great shot!

not if it gets in the way of fishing...... fishing first lol!

thanks everyone - she has a BUKH DV20 - so will happily potter along. I've heard nothing but good things about these and the previous owner is just down the pontoon from me with his new boat - he's already been extremely helpful and offered to help out/advise on pugwash and take me out on his new boat! he left all his marks in the fish finder/plotter so will start with those! to start with im thinking mackerel bashing, plaice, whiting, bream, rays, etc in the bay, try the ledges at ringstead, and lulworth, portland harbour/breakwater working up to the adamant shoal, and see how i go - the shambles wont be tackled until i'm more competent - with strong tides and a displacement speeds i want to be confident before hitting that! its not just a fishing boat either - I plan to do a few day trips with friends and family to lulworth cove, round the cruise ships, etc swimming and snorkeling, that kind of thing!

First time boat owner - (so go easy), but long time shore fisherman Picked up Pugwash in December - and I'm slowly gathering all the gear and knowledge. still to get: anchor rope, alderney ring and buoy, flare pack, need my life jackets serviced, and need to do my RYA PB2 and VHF courses. based in Weymouth - cant wait to get out there!

are these still available? i wouldnt mind a couple!

nice one - might have to get out on weymouth stone pier on saturday for mackerel or whiting on light gear! or the harbour for flatties!

thanks Jon, its got a Bukh dv 20

I had been looking at it for a few weeks, and always liked the colvics - this one was local to me (well known in the marina) and I got a good price!

haha no worries on the banter! happy with that! also - I bought a boat yesterday - a lovely Colvic 20
