toerag Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 There's an aquafish for 22k on FAFB at the mo called Tia-Jane. Has been mainly used for commercial diving, longlining, and rod & line fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Cheers for advice but i have decided on a boat with an inboard diesel engine due to the lower maintenance costs. Cheers mate Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I think at least one of our sponsor is an insurance company, and if you do a search, many of insurance co have been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 i have decided on a boat with an inboard diesel engine due to the lower maintenance costs Are you sure Jas?? I have just looked into a service on the engine in my chosen next boat and it is more than 10x the cost of a service on my outboard....

Newboy Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I think he probably meant the total upkeep like petrol vs diiesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Adam , well i must be misinformed in that case. But i can't see that it would cost that much to change some oil and filters. Any recommendations of anyone i can call to get an estimate from? Cheers Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Inboard on a shaft wil probably work out about the same (near as damn it) as an outboard but an inboard with outdrive will cost considerably more to service. On the other hand an inboard on a shaft will give less performance than an inboard with a leg You pays your money you takes makes choice Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Inboard on a shaft wil probably work out about the same (near as damn it) as an outboard but an inboard with outdrive will cost considerably more to service. On the other hand an inboard on a shaft will give less performance than an inboard with a leg indeed - it's horses for courses, swings and roundabouts etc etc as ever you tend to hear about outdrive problems and expensive costs but never about the ones that run and run with routine maintenance. generally the 290 Volvo drives do well here, as do BIIs and Alpha's. equally you pay about a 20% premium on fuel for shaft v duoprop drive in similar craft at planning speeds - which can add up you also have a gearbox to maintain on a shaft personally I would consider all the above about equal in the end - the real difference is in how the boat sit in the water under way and low speed handling. Not suggesting ones better just that here is where the real differences lie and choices should be based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afishionado Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 By the way Jas, how did the leg dressing and re dressing by startlingly fit fem fatale dressed in tight white slightly starched crisp clothing ( Ohhhh I've given meself a headache!) At Catterick go? My grandson was there doing his basic and had a couple of days in the med center with a sports injury. He said they took no prisoners!But mind you he was a lippy 17 yera old at the time. Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi Toerag, I have decided to look for an inboard diesel boat rather than an a stern drive boat. Thanks mate. Mike i was actually in Strensall barracks nr York. This is a medical centre set up to train all medical staff in the TA before they go to Iraq/ Afghanistan (poor bu@@ers) There were three of us amputees on scene and all had to go and get made up by a special make up artist. As usual by the time she finished with me you really think that i had my leg blown off. It truly is blood and guts. My senario was that of a man running from Afghan looters and apon entering a house to hide i accidently triggered a mine and had my leg blown off, damaged hearing and shrapnel to arm and chest. My brief was that apon entering the hospital from the back of a landrover with sirens blarring and on stretcher was to act obviously in pain but i had been administered some morphin to quieten me down. I entered A&E where i had my clothes cut from me and then was worked on by the medical team for approx 45mins, all this time i was acting incoherent, in shock, anxious, deaf and in pain. After this i was stretchered into theatre where i stayed for about an hour watching a surgeons team working on a manikin ( OF ME ) From there i went staight onto the ward where i stayed overnight Lots of lovely ladies in camo gear bringing me many a cup of tea whilst layed up in bed. Great fun and good pay. Chees Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jas, mate. I'd never realised that being an amputee was actually a job opportunity. I should look at getting an equity card, there may be openings in Casualty, etc. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi Terry. Yes we have all done various things for film/drama series, and many of my collegues have been in major films like Troy , Gladiator , saving private ryan, shaun of the dead, and these roles have taken them to various parts of the world.
