Badly wanted to, Chuckaduck /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
But I was advised against. Hope to pick her up tomorrow. Have chatted with the seller tonight and he seems as genuine as the ebay detail implied. Basically, an old chap who loved his boat but is too ill to enjoy her. He sounded genuinely happy when I explained that I wanted her as a tender to the island/house. She also comes with a good electric outboard.
The fun bit has been the discussions in the pub this evening. Our house is called "Chestnuts" and so the new boat has been christened "Conker". There will be a launching ceremony on Sunday, apparently...
