Gnasher Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) my first ever boat ....Sweaty Pollocks!!!! These old pics make me laugh!!!! No wonder i never could get crew back then!!!! The boat also had a hole in the bottom, we used a bike pump to suck the water up and pump out, as it was the only way i could get through the battens on the floor! Anyway, we still had a decent day wrass fishing, but it was dodgy braving it over H-Head. (p.s, no health and saftey advice please as i know it looks and is dangerous! and i have a sea worthy boat now ) Edited March 12, 2007 by Gnasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Not much gunnel height, is there....... I think I would prefer a bath tub instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Talking of which, it looks a damn sight safer that the tin bath with a Seagull on the back that I used for the Bampton raft race on the Thames. Now that was a masterpiece of nautical engineering! Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 It was a long time ago, Kam, when I was but a callow youth. There are a couple of monochrome piccies about but I have no scanner. These days, of course, it would have been kitted out with rod holders, bait table, sat nav, etc. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Very good jack and I agree wholeheartedly. I can remember my first proper boat jointly owned along with my brother inlaw. A 10' With firstly propelled by oar power, later with a 7.5hp outboard. We had loads of fun in that tub. Also caught lots of good fish in Poole harbour and swash channel Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
