Boatone's looking at boats ......

[boatone]

Has anybody mentioned to him the Gloriana is up for sale.
We could buy him a replica of Nelsons admirals uniform complete with the hat !
Boat problem solved........ he could parade up and down in front of Windsor Castle.........keep him occupied for days.
Not sure how long before Maggie would be forced to maroon him on convenient Ait tho !

Do keep up at the back, please. Lovely looking craft but totally impractical - needs lots of leccy or even more beefy blokes to get up to river speeds for any length of time and the cost of canopies is eye watering - not to mention that even with mates rates I'm sure MDL berthing costs would be a tad prohibitive.
Rest assured all sensible options are being considered !

 

[Sulley]

Have to say thats the best offer I've had for a long time - can I take a rain check pretty please ?

i will hold you to that ;-) Trust me I am harmless!!!

 

[boatone]

This should please Apollo....

On a very wet miserable afternoon yesterday I sent the Hardy 27 away to the tooth fairies for a face lift.......

They were very quick and did a superb job and this arrived back this afternoon in the sunshine.........

Yes Mike - its a Broom 34 Sedan and very nice too

 

[Actionmat]

That looks very nice indeed. Sliding door, no canopy, definitely two ticks on my wants list.

 

[boatone]

There is a canopy for the cockpit but was taken off for the transporter trip.

Congratulations on the exchange.

The new "Legacy" is stunning. May you have many happy hours on the river with that one.

 

[Greg2]

Many congrats on the new Legacy Tony. Pleased that you managed to find something that suited

Didn't it come with fenders?��

Yep - 3 for each side plus a spare and a nice s/s basket in the transom ! Guess the fender sox will be coming off though!

Farewell CLB, welcome CBB... (Cute Bigger Boat, or Cute Broom Boat).

I can see that now. Lovely looking boat, congratulations.

 

[Brayman]

Fred's being very quiet! Has he bough the CLB I wonder?

 

[jaws]

Congratulations Tony. She looks very nice indeed.

 

[alanch]

Nice one Tony. But with that engine only 2 knots faster than me now!

 

[prof pat pending]

Very nice Tony

Just trying to find the phone number for the Dorking branch of Brentford Nylons.....
Thats going to need an awful lot of net curtains and Green Brocade cushions (and little gold tasselled lampshades ) to turn it into a proper Broom.
The owner already fits the bill.Bit timeworn and well past its sink by date ?

I wonder if you can charge leisure batteries with static electricity?
