Yes Steve - back in the days when the  "Wimpy bar" was king (no pun intended). Geoff.

Thanks Steve - who needs enemies with friends like you? Anyway I don't sell boats - I am a collector remember.  Geoff.☺️

Welcome aboard Jon..... Don't be tempted to buy a boat from our Geoff, It'll look great but will be at least 5 years before it's finished 🤣

Very true.... Things have got so bad I've had to clean my windscreen!! 🤣

Yes, correct. Most boat rods are J curve. Most coarse rods are C curve.
But yes, UK boat rods vary by a huge amount.

He's got to earn his own shoes now, one of the guitars was $4000, so we will be going without shoes too!!!!

Another alternative for battery leads is the "hammer on" terminals, although we always did them in the vice for welding cables and they would last the distance
 

Some other items to have at hand when tackling a wiring job.
Heat Shrink. An absolute must and not that expensive, can be bought ready cut in various sizes or as a length/roll to trim yourself. It comes in various different colours so you could even have a colour code system going on with the heat shrink. Remember to put the heat shrink on first!
Fuses Always have plenty of fuses of each and every type you use, keep a good stock on the boat as well
Tape Several types to consider. Harness tape, the non sticky stuff tou wrap around a loom or spur from a loom to protect it, held in place with heatshrink. Self amalgamating tape, again to wrap around a harness for protection, bonds itself together to form a more reliable sheath. Insulating, or insulting tape as I often refer to it, ok as a get you home temp fix, but better suited for taping wires together when harness making
 
Gas Soldering Iron These things are brilliant, can be used for shrinking heatshrink to soldering multi wire splices. Just remember to carry a lighter and a gas can

There are moorings at Boston as well as on the Welland tho that may be a bit far inland. Boston to Derby is doable in about 2 hours

The lad has rovex and shimano.... I use greys

You're gonna have to shell out if ya want anymore!! Best be hatching a plan
 

You crack me up Steve... you've poached all the egg gags...

Or runny yolks....... Whisk him away

I sold my wife's car Friday to downgrade to a smaller vehicle. The plan was to use some of the money to upgrade my 16yr olds gigging guitar with something a little better than what he's been using. Well the budget well and truly blew out with a new PA system and two guitars, one being a very sweet Taylor.
 


 
 
 
 

First trip out the mouth of the west side
after the last trip being improvised becuase of a bung plug situation.
newly done we headed out this Sunday out the needles
a First for me and a little nervy. was grateful to have a quicksilver  gunning its way behind then past me to steam through which gave me added confidence as the swell was quite up going through there. Which I did fail to account for with the previous days wind. 
 
anyway once we were through we anchored up knowing there wasn’t much tide left before slack then instantly into congers and then when we finally went slack we upped anchor and moved a little further west for the flood and continued with congers all day great sport best going 34lb. Live pouting or flappers as the ground was littered with them.
All in all a great day out came in the Solent to try for a cod for the last hour but not to be ! Always next time.
