this is my parents boat:


its got 2 * 210hp 6 litre turbo diesels, does about 25 knots flat out but drinks fuel faster than a v8 rangerover

and this is the old one
built in 1922 in Barrow-in-Furness, twas originally a fishing boat, conversion to a motor sailer started in the 60's and took the guy 20 years  :shock:

Well I have been inviolved in boating since the age of 8

Upto 3 years ago I was a member of Northampton Boat Club and have crusied most of the uk canals and rivers, I hold a RYA day skippers

I was into sailing as well, my parents have had narrowboats and sea going cruisers I had a small cruiser as well but due to ever increasing costs it had to go.

Been into boats with a mate since 13.

I had an unnamed Cathedral Hull sports boat till I was 17, Then another unnames 17ft river cruiser and then a fletcher and a Dell Quay. Now have/had a defunct 1960's speedboat with a 2.0lt ford Pinto inboard. I suspect as it hasnt moved for so long its gone :( I'm almost sure it has.

Mate worked his way up, doing one up while using another. His Current boat "Can't Swim!' is a 48ft powercruiser, old style sunseeker thats been fully restored and runs two Jag XJ12 engines. Man does it shift! :)

I am looking at getting back on the water next year if I can find a boat I like. Dad has built boats from scratcha nd we often think about getting one between us. Thing is, he wants an open fishing type thing and I want a Cruiser or powerboat that has some shelter.

Nother Fletcher would be good though :) Came accross a massive powercruiser a year back with twin Rover V8 EFI engines. Least a 35 footer and the guy wanted £2k for it. Needed some tlc inside and to the engine but was debated as a club project till it went.
