  1. I've had a twin engined twin outdrive boat in the past and vowed never to go back to them. Four lift outs in a year for oil leaks on the rams. Even after new seals and shafts, they still leaked. I'd much rather drive slower and have less mechanics to go wrong.
  2. Looks like a nice craft. Shame about the devils spawn of an outdrive leg.
  3. That's weird, I'll have a word!
  4. They got about as much chance of being made and sent as @Geoff s boat has of being launched!!
  5. How exactly would you get there? Swim?
  6. But I haven't studied for it, that's why I said "not as far as I'm aware". or did you not read that bit?
  7. As you know I have the same rod as you, and I have a Shimano 2500 exage (? Spelling). They work well together and can pull in some good fish.
  8. You won't go far wrong with any Shimano small FS reel Mike. something like this, dependant on budget.. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/shimano-stradic-gtm-rc-reel?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA8YyuBhBSEiwA5R3-Ew3dQla1psyUPqbh0fZR47_SOQukB4mHifOKUk-esxyKH6fh6GvoWhoC8zQQAvD_BwE
  9. No, I chose the LH version. The badge was only an extra with the RH one.
  10. Yes, Leo caught that wrasse on a spinning rod and 5000 FS reel, with the handle on the left!!
  11. Mercury yacht harbour on the Hamble.
  12. I started on the Itchen. Round by Cobden bridge.
  13. Thanks Jeff. Very kind of you. So when's the launch date?
  14. Also can be used as driveway ornaments !!
  15. He's not shy, he's happy to show it off.
  16. @JonC has a small one!
  17. Around the Hamble the bass are so used to feeding off food scraps that go overboard from all the marina boats. I'm not surprised that you had success with the bbq leftovers!
