Captain Sensible

Two of these going up on eBay over the weekend thought I’d offer them here first. Not selling as matching pair as 1cm shorter - rings line up just the top section shorter in length. Nice rods good condition with rods bags, one standard the other luxury feel with Daiwa badge Going for £100 per rod although there is a chancer asking £160 per rod /£320 for the pair on fleabay

Got a good/new handheld but would like one for the boat. Any of you upgrading I might be up for your old’n Nothing fancy just the basics, ais, gps 😂

Top bins! 😂😂 what’s the sieve for?

😃 yeah reckon this max boat speed according to hull design is nonsense just stick a massive engine on and a LOT of anchor chain up front One of these?

Built in 80’s/90’s when 2 smokes the norm, rated to 25hp which is roughly 50kg. Didn’t ask about safe sea state but as above if dangerous don’t go out. Now got a 30hp four smoke which is nearly double the weight, 2 smoke equivalent has more power so 20/25 hp four smoke prob bit underpowered. 30 4s is prob but too heavy. insurance approved and no stress signs to boat, others run them outboards with no issues.

First go at boats was sailing boats as a kid with cabins, channel crossing and east coast pottering. Then Lazers, so no wind no fun. Next go for last few years has been SIBS if anyone knows them. 3.8m with a 15hp planes at 18knots cruise if you want at 15knots on east coast chop. Expect to get wet and prepare for it. Would go out in a 3-4 highly mobile and quick, capable of much more - surf jumping etc but human part quits before boat does. Don’t know this boat and capability at all so baby steps to start with and see what I think, how safe I feel. Prepare for worst. So this is first dedicated boat for fishing, bit of experience prior to that. Oh and mucked about on ribs for a bit for PB1&2, PB refresher, next step advanced when I have the time. Me and my Sister been doing it down Solent way good fun and nice folk. Bigger boat - not ruling it out - like the Orkney for ease of use and it’s cheaper to moor at that length.

Bought it on a sunny day so add 2 weeks to the 4 I think I’m in love good job the exhaust pipe is protected by a propeller. Irrational thoughts of spending hours with her gently polishing. Arrrr, boats! How do they fair in a force 7? Asking for a friend - he said it’s that or the river

✅ she’s up

Here she arrrr in (I’ve got to try and reign that in) West Coast of Scotland before I whisked her away down South. So far only had a pootle about and now watching one low pressure after another roll in. Cabin fever might get the better of me soon
