plaicemat Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I actually have one surplus to requirements which should be ready soon. Just got to gel coat over some holes where I removed obsolete smart tabs. Due to ongoing back problem I can't bend down to do it at present.

2006holmwood Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi Terry, Whats wrong with the trimtabs, they stop the Warriors from porpoising, so if they work ok I would leave them on. What sort of money are you thinking as I am interested. also do you have a trailer. Cheers Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get rams but not the swivel connectors anymore. I have had the boat since 2004 and, quite honestly, I can't say the tabs make a lot of difference, the porpoising can usually be trimmed out with the engine. I'm at the Doc's at the moment getting my booster so I'll let you have details later. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Mk2 is MUCH nicer. Stingray is Tasty! plaicemat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Mine is mk 2, 2001 with a very low hours 2017 Suzuki DF70 fitted by Paul at Warrior when I also had new windows done. Dual battery set-up, new Lowrance Hook 2 9" and DSC VHF radio, cuddy extension cover (Warrior), trailing cover, all over winter cover made to measure, bait tank and pump, trailer with new crossbeam, hubs and brakes, mud guards and electric winch with wireless remote. Transom rail (Warrior) with rod rests and bait table. S/S storage baskets fore and aft, S/S roof arch with nav lights and S/S rod tubes. Twin 25ltr Quicksilver petrol tanks, twin tank change over tap, bilge pump. There's probably more but it's been a long day. Terry.

She is superbly laid out and that engine is very smooth and you give it a right good flushing through after every trip. I can guess that the Mark 1 in Gosport will be cheaper and then start spending ! 0r Probably pay a bit more for one that's ready to go and the spending has already been done. I know which way I'd jump. Just my opinion ! ! As an ex Warrior owner I can vouch for their quality. plaicemat and fisherman1055 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 We are once again a one boat family. Stingray will be returning to Cobbs, hardly seemed worth the effort bringing her up here. Jerry, enjoy. Terry. Brian, Maverick Martin, Jim and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just had a message from Jerry, to say "She's home and towed beautifully". Jim, Tarlach., fisherman1055 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
