    Polishing quick question

    Dino thanks for the link to Drakes Detailing. I watched their video on cleaning vinyl seats and had a go over the weekend. Looking at them I didn't think mine were that dirty but boy was I surprised. Instead of Purple Power I used his other suggestion of Simple Green. Having spoken to the...

    Marine superstore port Solent

    Driving to the boat this morning and I was listening to a radio chat programme about customer service and the fact that it is dead and customers receive very poor service in majority of cases which had been highlighted in a survey of customer experiences. This just goes to show that some...

    I was in Ramsgate last weekend and.....

    That looks very much like an XSR Interceptor minus the machine gun at the bow. If it is then max speed 85 Knots. thingamybob on the aft end are inflatable tubes either side of the boat for stability I think. They only run 3rd way down the boat...

    Sideshift St230

    You say the thruster bolts onto the outboard leg. When your leg is turned won't that make the thruster useless?

    A GOOD MARINE MECHANIC TO REBUILD 2 X VOLVO PENTA AQ170 ENGINES

    You will always be throwing money away when it comes to boating. Unless you have the skills to fix and repair your own engines I think you are looking easily at £15 to 20K for a refurbed or having this one repaired if you start getting professionals involved.

    Marina Extension in Ipswich?

    Sorry Tomahawk I would have to disagree with that. Ipswich this year has been the emptiest we have seen it in over a decade. Titchmarsh used to look full but even that marina has had loads of spaces along with Burnham. I think a lot of owners this year and last have decided to just sell up...

    New covers/canopy, survey and haulage

    Try One Sails in the Hamble. We had a full cockpit enclosure done this year and they paid attention to every detail and I can't fault the service. We also wanted some alterations done to the stainless aft of the cockpit and nothing was too much trouble. In fact there were things we wanted done...

    Ministry of Defence Police Marine Unit - Complaint

    I was once stopped by the marine police walking down our pontoon. They said I “assaulted” some guy with a sheet of sandpaper. But I only roughed him up a bit. They asked me if I had a Police record. Told them I only had a Sting CD.
