Nice boat BTW

Nice boat BTW

Why doesn't the forum "buy" a boat - kinda like that football forum that bought a Club and the whole forum get's to decide on day to day matters...

LOL...just an idea is all :red::yltype:

Bagsy first mate :D
 
That looks a very very good deal Keith, don`t recognise it mind, is it new in the tyne? or maybe just not used around our spots.
 
Nah we've seen him out loads of times, Bert was talking to the owner at the weekend. He's just bought an Offshore 105.

Seem to remember he landed a very nice ling one day last year when we were alongside.
 
It's always been moored opposite the Fish Quay at the next set of moorings, down towards the piers from Shady and the Boys. just after the marine safety training centre. a lovely boat.
 
You got yourself a boat yet Ritchie ?, we have all ben expecting to see a picture of you and a boat after your post regarding how to post a picture
 
Not yet Bob

Went down to Liverpool to view a Arvor 18 for sale 2 weeks ago, £14k with 500hrs on the engine in good conditon with all the toys, seen it on boats and outboards but when i arrived 2 other people had been invited at the same time (start a bidding war) i lost and never seen anything else since then.

To be honest its prob going to be next season now, working 12hr overtime shifts at the moment so the money is building up now, soon have the car paid for and be able to focus more on the boat and house.

Not really in any major rush really, got loads of trips books already this year from Tyne, Craster, Hartlepool and West coast as well as going out a few time on mates boats.

Arvor 18, Arvor 19 and Quicksilver 540 are the boats i have narrowed it down to.
 
Biggest problem i have found is that you need to travel miles to view a boat as in the 3 months i have been looking, nothing fitting my bill has popped up in the north east. Spent about £30 in fuel to view the one in liverpool but it was nice to get out and do a sea trial on the Arvor 18 even if i lost the bidding.

This time next year i will have the cash to buy a boat outright, been onto Dave.M about going halfers this year but he is still not settled yet with work etc.

I am ment to be out Friday from Craster but bit unsure witht he NE winds.
