Hello all

[Gazjen]

Hello all Sorry I'm a little late to the party, I sold my boat in September and I've been sulking since. I should be a boat owner again pretty soon though as I've just won an auction on a little Fletcher. Hopefully that should feed my boating addiction for the time being For those that don't know/remember me I'm based in Nottingham and typically trailer to the south coast and Loch Lomond with the occasional trip on the river Trent.

So then what have I missed?

Hi all nice to see the regulars are still here

Regarding the sale, I made a comment to the family one day saying that if they didn't show some interest in the boat I would sell it and buy a bike. well it turns out a bike is no replacement for a boat and the only one upset about the sale was me!

A friend of mine has just brought a Maxum Cuddy so that was all the excuse I needed I fancied something I could keep at home, that I could launch easily and "throw about" in the chop so I thought the Fletcher would be ideal.

Hi Gaz, Welcome back.
So does that mean you now have best of both worlds - a boat and a bike?

[betty boop]

after the initial shock I realise you probably mean motorbike not peddle power? My alternative vice was to sell betty for a VW van project - the full conversion from plumbers van to dub van for the same family reason but Ive fallen foal of those kind of threats before and each time I get burnt so now (I like to think) I dont give a T#ss and they can do what they want. never works though.

Welcome back Gaz! So I want to know what Fletcher you now have!!

[Gazjen]

Yes Betty I think the same now, now my mates got one though they can do as they please

Sorry for the delay, I didn't want to post this till I'd actually picked it up in case it was a dog so here it is

A Fletcher Arrowshaft 20 GTS with a rarther interesting engine and drive.

Mercruiser 350 mag efi/mp & Bravo 1

It needs a little tidying but it's pretty good overall for a 20 year old boat.

Can anyone recommend any upholsterers?
