I bought a cheapy off the net for £70 and used my fathom 12 with it, it worked and I caught a few fish I have now bought a Temple Reef Elevate Mk 2 E2 coupled with a Maxel Rage 25 after advice off both GPSGuru and Terry (jigabite) I hope to use this new set up next Sat 12th on a wrecker out of Weymouth (small tide etc) if the weather plays ball Rod was £200 and reel was £330, I had a moment of madness and just bought them Definitely a nicer action on the rod and the reel is a work of art With the jigs all well North of a 10er, I wont be bouncing these across the bottom for Cod But I'll be happy to pick up a few decent Pollock mid water

Well done young man 👍 And a big well done to @Saintly Fish for continuing to take his lad out, despite getting constantly outfished 🤣

As Suzook12 says, check and double check the work that has been done I thought these boats weren't made after the 70's, so that is quite an old hull and any repairs that have been made, could be hiding something nasty Soft spots in the deck and transon and osmosis on the hull are the main things I would be looking at @Clinker is your man, he's pretty good on his general knowledge of most boats

What parts do you need, pretty sure there are a pair of Volvo legs down our marina, very badly damaged though Hole in the casing around the prop shaft bearing carrier on one, think the other may be as bad or worse

What hp engine is in your boat, what size/weight is it (boat) and what props are you currently running

I had a 290 duo prop on my last boat and had trouble with the reverse latch not engaging, I took it off and made some stainless brackets to stop the leg kicking up in reverse My problem was due to lack of maintenance on the pivot shaft (hadn't been greased) so the reverse latch didn't turn when the leg turned, therefore not engaging when reverse was selected I still have the latch mechanism somewhere, also got a set of A3 or 4 props in the garage somewhere

The England bit

I'm not feeling positive today 🏉🙄

Not a problem cost wise, all I use Office/Word for is altering existing invoices (dates, amounts) and saving them to be emailed Is it an annual cost ?

That's the one I mentioned, we'd drop it in Portishead on way back and sail the last few miles No import duties then

Which one for basic office tasks General invoices etc 2016 at less than £20, or the 2021 for £30 Is this a yearly fee

If all else fails, see if you can find yourself a female vampire.......... With blunt teeth 🧛‍♀️ Hope you get sorted soon and get back out 👍

That wasn't the one I saw, but looks a good deal (given how much everything has increased in value)

Is that the 2004 for just under 11k ? If so I sent him that link

Man flu, crept up on me Sunday night then mugged me of any energy I had left yesterday Crawled into bed about 3.30 and got up at 8, showered, ate and went back to bed and slept right through til 7 this morning I also feel very old

Is it worth the upgrade from 10 to 11 ? The last time I upgraded I lost access to word and office etc, is there a way of getting it back without paying the 70 odd quid a year ?

As I keep reminding some friends that have them, they're not campervans They're caravanettes 👍

Certainly felt like it this week, have only managed to work until just after dinner most days, feel like I've been steam rollered Was thinking about a nighter tomorrow as well, that's not happening now

It's back open again Pete At least it was 2 mins ago, may be shut again now though

Thought I had replied to this, must have dreamed I did All good, on the last outing after steaming for 30 mins or so, checked when we dropped anchor and there was no movement Same on return journey, just something I'd never noticed before The oldies were right 👨‍🦳👍

A mate of mine is after something like a Warrior/Raider etc including a trailer Anything about ? Not too sure on budget, but I assume he's looked at the prices of these types of boats, but I'll ask him tomorrow I've told him about the usual sites to look on, thought I'd ask here as well Has @headlight sold his Raider ?

Ha ha, the Taffs are slowly taking over Welcome, from a fellow sheep worrier 👍

I'm closely watching Wednesdays weather Seems like a slight possibility atm 🤞

A strong 7, bordering on 8 A new one on me
