Saw this and thought "If only...."

Ex Navel Pinace 28ft Fishing Boat for sale , Ex Navel Pinae 28ft Fishing Boat - Boats And Outboards

Not everyones cup of tea granted, but sure would be a boat with character...and if all else fails it could be reverted back to being a gun boat for Pansy on her gun running missions...

cant get the page to load yet , but did you see the ex raf 80' pinace on e-bay last month ? was going for £8500 as a classified ad now that would be a nice fishing boat
needed a full refit but new ish engines

[bazw]

the wife came up to talk to me when i was looking at it and just said "thats nice how much " i told her £4750 and she said i cant have a new engine for my van if i get it

no bu**er off's

Have you not got half the money Tony

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

The scary thing is I could buy that boat 6 times over with the amount of credit I've got at me fingertips...

Course if I were to buy it...I'd paint it as she was intended...battleship grey

LOL Gregg...already did the mental maths and I still can't afford it....mooring fees, insurances etc etc...haven't got any excess income at the moment

Such an addictive website...spent the last hour trawling the web for ex-military boats...could only find hulks in need of severe restoration thus far...

Hyperion... we had look at her late last year. good solid boat, brilliant gardner engine which is what you want as they run on fresh air virtually, was coded for charter as well

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

Aye...but like I said at the beginning of the thread 'tis the stuff of dreams at the minute...

Off to dream of adventures on the high seas...

Kenny & Skully were out on Hyperion through the week, nice boat.

Very nice boat indeed, but wouldn't budge off the price, so was just a wee bit more than we wanted to pay, bearing in mind the money we want to spend to add extras and tart it up, mooring fees to stump up and so on

Well looked after will outlast most things (its already 75 years old!) and will take just about anything the North Sea could throw at it

 

[KeithB]

I think John had a fair bit of work done on her recently as you Mark a nice boat, maybe a little too big for a first boat though.

 

[luckylady]

I know the first boat well it used to be called the wasp. its a cracking little boat but it aint worth that sort of money.
