Mrs Thelobster and I have talked about getting a sailing dinghy in the past.

But we live in Surrey.  So honestly, given you have to store it, trailer it around, launch it, insure it, fix it, etc, how often are we going to use it?

So we decided to just rent a boat whenever we felt like it, on the basis that we'd still be saving thousands of pounds in the long run.  Works a treat!

Evilgoat:
most places by the water have somewhere you can keep em, depending on how you look you'll find something. Sure if you want CCTV etc etc then you'll pay for it. Mine have always lived in a little padlocked yard for £80 a year and never had any trouble.

no disrespect, but gear linkages dont corrode and sieze
the most common cause of not bein able to select gear is adjustment
for those with controls its 9/10 cables need adjusting correctly at the engine end
and for those on tiller, its the splitter in the leg that as worked itself loos as usual and is slipping
in vary rare cases where water as found itself in the gearbox, its rust the clutch dog
danny
my bet is adjustment

I have two Pentas that would argue with that but this isnt the place. I wouldnt have thought an engine that size would be bothering with remotes but maybe it would.

Nah - not me, but Dad has mentioned having bits from Marine Tec in the past :wink:  I'm too busy, unfortunately, to use it :cry:  Sometimes have the odd day trip out and take the kids and dogs :D
