The Jester
Well-known member
Well as some of you may have noticed, i sold The Jester, the Explorer Elite yesterday...
The replacement has been been arranged for a couple of months..in one way or another.....So here's the story......
A couple of months back Rob (Easyfish1) mentioned to me that he might be selling his qs560, but i told him not to as he'd regret it
, but in the back of my mind i was thinking i wouldnt mind it, as it has been well looked after 
.
He was still unsure a month ago but between us we thought we would put a "Pincer Movement" in place..just in case
This involved me, Rob, Julie, Susan, 2 boats and a casual meal at a local pub..
The subject of Rob's boat was ever so tenderly dropped into the conversation, with my missus (Susan) saying i didnt need another boat, mine was fine.....Julie ( Rob's wife) on the other hand was a bit shocked that he was thinking about selling......
Well the conversation passed and we all went home, me thinking well we tried but no cigar.....10 mins after getting in the house, Susan says "How much does Rob want for his boat like"..YES.....YES......HOOK, LINE AND SINKER... The seed was sown....
Well i dont know, he might not even sell it i said.... Well if you can sell yours for ££££ you can get it, she said...
Anyway me and Rob never mentioned it for a few weeks, then while i was out on the boat, i got a text saying "I've decided i'm selling the boat"....text back..."We need to do a deal" and to cut to the chase, within an hour and many texts, we had a deal... Susan came in from work and i said "I've had a text from Rob"...Susan said "When are you getting his boat"....she knows me too well....
Well...many thanks to Rob, his QS560 now has a new owner, he held on till i sold mine, which took longer than i thought, i had to sign a declaration to esure it is kept in tip top condition as he's very attached to his boat....Which is the reason i wanted it.... In fact i've had the keys for 2 weeks, not many people would do that...
Here's a few pics....
The "D" has been added to The Jester on Rob's reqest that part of the name he had on the boat remained....not a problem mate...
Rob even has his place on the boat assured...
A couple more...
Once again massive thanks to Rob, who had been a true mate, the keys are there if you want to take it out anytime....
