what dinghy does the outboard bracket fit or can you measure please? I have (I think it's a Seago) a dinghy in the garage which is lacking an outboard bracket

Property in Mooring, Port Way, Port Solent, Portsmouth, PO6 4TE

we have just left port solent. No real issues with low water. The wait times for the lock in and out can be tedious in a busy bank holiday weekend with maybe an hour wait or so for the lock. On the plus side it's very sheltered from any sort of blow My own view of the bars and restaurants...

sadler 29 well able. westerly fulmar if you can live with the headlining. sadler 32 if you can find one for the money. I don't think once you get on it and sail the fulmar or something of 32 feet will be materially bigger or more expenisve than a 29 unless you are in an expensive marina...

Here's a link to the facebook page which is pretty busy and helpful https://www.facebook.com/groups/sadlerandstarlight/ can't comment about the deck softness other than it would probably encourage me to walk away or get the boat really cheap as long as I had the skill set to resolve We have a...
