The time has come.... (its not good!)

That's a bugger, but also the reason I went to a very much smaller boat. Dry stack at saxon verses times out couldn't be justified.

With a little 3.5 rib I can un hitch with one hand and push it into the water. Parts for a service is 30 quid!

The cost of mooring on the drystack each month compared to the usage is ridiculous, plus any spare time I have is spent triathlon training, the kids and wife dont particularly enjoy going out on the boat so it looks like selling her is the only option.

I want to get back into it in a few years when my training eases up and the kids are older, thats the plan anyway.

So i'll be looking for a broker soon,

James looks like this could have been our last trip out on Eljay together!

Join the club Matt. Don't think you'll have much trouble selling her, she's a cracking boat. I don't think you'll be long boatless, it gets into the blood :D

I can recommend http://www.southamptonwaters.co.uk as a broker. They've handled quite a few from Saxon over the last couple of years, including Joka-Tu (twice)


Cheers Colin yes I had been recommended them also so have spoke with Richard. I just need to get it cleaned up and some decent photos taken then good to go.
