Looking at different charter fishing boats, Aquastar, Aquabell, Lochin etc, if you had the choice, which one would you buy. and why would it be better than the others. I'm not talking about a new one, but something around 50K-60K. Just need to put the lottery on now :).
 
anyone thats good enough to take ya out and get ya fish doesnt have to be the best boat out there as long has it gets ya there and back safe but even the best boats can break down on the day :D

Very true, but the boats i mentioned are more than capable for the job. I wouldn't like to think i was going out on a boat that wasn't built to go out x amount of miles, by being too small.
I'm due a few quid maybes next year, so i'm doing my homework now.
 
cant believe a mackem is trying to wind up another mackem on the site,sureley the geordies do that enough,if the lad has the money to spend let him do it,its a good thread i would love to invest in a boat and would love advice on how to do it,we can all dream,some of us work hard and pay our taxes enough said
 
im not entireley sure,but your friendly quips here and there seem to add fuel to some flames,im self employed if i dont work i dont get paid,what was it you do for a living again i cant remember thats all i am sying on this matter

It would have to be a catamaran of some sort for me, better sea keeping qualities, more deck space, less lost days and two main engines pushing a much smaller area of below the waterline hull thought the water resulting in better fuel consumption.

Coddy if i do get something, you can be my skipper ;), and i'll pay you with all the macky you catch. :D.
Joking aside, i've met Coddy a couple of times and he's a canny fella (although you don't reply to my PM's :D). He knows a hellava lot more about fishing than i do, as i've only just started last summer.
I can't believe how much i love going fishing and miss it when i'm not there. Though, our lass wouldn't agree, she can't see what the fuss is all about :rolleyes:.
As for owning a boat, it would be a dream come true. I've read enough threads to know it wouldn't be easy with bad weather, breakdowns etc, but it's something one day i hope to do.
What sort of certificates or licenses do you need to get sorted.
 
i do believe that for a private boat you need sod all:(

the wiser souls get advice from boat owning friends and the lifeboat lads provide a good service for new and old boat owners

im sure you will get good advice on here too:)
