Andy135 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Welcome Robin. Nice boat. Is there a hull information plate anywhere on the boat? Often found on the inside of the transom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Thats a scary looking trailer, is it just a launch trolly or an actual road trailer ? hope you check the wheel bearings before towing any distance. I can't say its any model I recognise. It always fun having a project to tinker with, where will you be using the boat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the trailer is just for slipway launching you are right it’s not road worthy. I will be using her out of Bembridge harbour only a mile out there are some great Bass and Plaice spots I know that I can’t wait to get back to 😉thanks for your reply mike farrants and JDP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd want to go too far out in her though. Do you plan to put a bigger engine on her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not far from a couple of hundred yards to a mile out, as for a bigger engine yes but I’m having to save up for that Saintly Fish, JDP and daio web 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about taking it out beyond Bembridge Ledges. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
