I used to have a boat on a Jetty above the bridge at Wareham, it had a raw water cooled on-board, I kept that afloat every winter and never had problems.

I would always go for separate antennas, every connection reduces the signal strength.

Hi Nigel That would be great, thanks for the offer. Where is your boat, and when would be convenient?

Hi James Can I suggest you join the Club. Lots of experience and knowledge that members are willing to share. We can arrange various training courses (RYA Level 2, VHF Radio etc). There's always the opportunity to fish in company with other club boats.

That's my next move.

I've looked at various makes, but keep coming back to the Arvor.

My Warrior is 5m, I have to pay their minimum charge which is 6m, I just scrape in (by not quite raising the engine fully when they measured).

One reason is the outboard adds a fair bit to the length when Cobb's measure the boat.

There are a couple of 215’s in the club.

Toying with the idea of selling MegaByte and getting an Arvor 215.

Thanks Jim great photo.
