biggcol Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Well, work is underway on the new boat. She dosen't look like the one we were measuring up the other week yet, but I am sure the guys at Cheetah Marine know what they are doing. I tried to put pics on this post but couldn't make it work so if anyone is interested there are some pics in my photo album. Colin Ps if anyone can talk me through how to put pics on or stick them on for me that would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedger Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Colin, Are you having the Hysu Foils fitted Always promised myself if I got a cat I'd treat myself and the cat to Hysu Foils.

petesnr Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Just wondering if for the first year a new cat should be called a kitten? If so watch out I know its going to be moored next to an old dog!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggcol Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Na Trev not fitting Hysu Foils, already spent too much and my research dosen't show there would be much, if any advantage on a smaller Cat . Yeah Pete OLD Salty Sea Dog ! Charlie would appreciate instructions on how to add the photo's, I did try but didn't get anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Colin you made a simple error. When you post into the IMG line you must make sure that the http:// is not duplicated ie http:// is already in the img line when you open it, when you paste the address in that line you might end up with: http://http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/photoalbum/albums/userpics/11191/boblin2No1.jpg Note the beginning of the line that's highlighted. Delete one http:// and your picture should then appear. If you get stuck give me a call when your on your computer and I will talk you through it Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conger king Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 have fished on these boats very roomy and fast did you go on the one at southampton boat show this was alans boat we took this to brittle stars last year a few times she handaled very well only fault when you walk on i always banged my head on bulk head lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggcol Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 We have not fished off a Cheetah yet. Yes we were on the one at Southampton and did the deal with Sean whilst sat on her. Sean is raising the cabin moulding a bit so hopefully we wont keep banging heads on the overhang. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicky Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 very jealous. hopefully one day i will be able to upgrade to something that smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggcol Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Well things are moving along slowly. There has been a hold up on the deck material, but Sean at Cheetah assures us that the suppliers now have the 40mm honeycombe in stock. so things should speed up again now.

Absolute Aqua Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Colin / Bobbi Thats great news, but before we do the training on her I have a couple of questions: A . Do I have to wipe my feet before getting on board ? B . Should I bring a rod ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggcol Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hi Ian Bobi says yes to A !!!!! We have plenty of rods so B no problem. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggcol Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Things moving again now had email from Sean at Cheetah they have the deck honeycomb and are getting on with the build again. Also picked up the last of my electronic package from Matt today, YES!!!! my nice shiny new Structure Scan. All we need now is a Cat to fit all the bits and gadgets to. Good luck to all those that have boats and are having a go at the fish, we will be out there soon so when you find them leave a few Red Spots for us.

petesnr Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Dont like to worry you but they seem to be putting the wheelhouse upside down. Is that what you mean by a structure scan--you'll certainly be able to see all round underwater---only joking--it looks great. I'm having my trailer rebuilt so that I can bring my boat home to tart it up. One has to keep up with new cat that is going to be on the next mooring. On second thoughts maybe that sounds too much like hard work--you'll just have to put up with a scruffy boat next door!! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
