Im a carpenter so wasn't difficult to build, there's plenty of info online. I had the materials and time as we were off for lockdown and was looking for something to get the kids off the Xbox. It took a year and half for our first owls though. I'm thinking of putting a camera in the box this year. Was great watching them get bigger. Shit me up on a few morning as I would walk in and one would be sitting on a bench dead still and I wouldn't see it till I was right up to it.

we noticed we had barn owls in our workshop so during lock down I made an owl box with the kids and we had our first owls last year. The local owl guy came down and ringed and recorded them. (Not me in the photo) hoping they return this year.

Pretty much, new axles, wheels and brakes and a bit of welding

only thing that ever went wrong was a fuel pump when I was running her up on the mooring, apart from that in the nearly 8 years I’ve had her shes Not missed a beat. I put a Suzuki auxiliary on as well and that’s been just as good. I really rate Suzukis

I bought the boat without a trailer and after looking for one for months I (ironically) found this one in the farm where I have my workshop slowly rotting away. Paid £300 for it and rebuilt it but haven’t got round to putting mudguards on It, I only tow it about half a mile to launch. But your right I could tow it to other marks. Not sure about launching it from my van though. Curreny I get the local park and ride to launch at the start of the season and take it out at the end.

Hi Jon you probably seen me going round in circles as well. I The boats back in the water next weekend. I didn’t get out as much as i wanted last year but I aim to correct that this year. I’m going to try and catch a decent Tope and plenty of bass and hounds.

Just joined up and thought I would post up some pics of my boat. She's a 2008 Beneteau 650 which I bought in 2015. Due back in the water next weekend. Had a lot of fun with the family fishing and just messing about on the water.

Hi guys just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I've been fishing most of my life, mostly sea but a bit of pike fishing now and then. I live in Brightlingsea in north Essex and have owned a Beneteau 650 for the last 8 years. Looking forward to being part of the group.
