Have just received from previous owner history of my boat.
Some bits missing but what I have is as follows
Built 1982 cost not known, around £40,000 ?
First sold 1993 Swap with Colvic 31 and £1700.00 owner engineer
Sold 1995 £ 30,000 " marine surveyor
Sold 1996 £36.000 " Co.director
Sold 1998 £32.500 " Armed forces
Sold to 2002 £27.000 " Layabout.
It appears to have held its price very well although not as well as one or two other boats I went to look at.
Put in 450L of fuel cost £ 114.00.that would have cost me £340.00 for petrol.
Went out every day over weekend and very happy with everything.It seems able to cover distance much better than old boat perhaps due to more comfortable ride.
Played with all toys including radar.
Have you noticed that after buying "your" boat every bugger that hoves into view has got one exactly the same only newer/faster/with flybridge

Re: Psssssstttt...............

O gawd my wife reckons I never listen(or read).
Ref the Med.
In order to keep boat down on the other med is it true that
A/you have to save up £1,000,000 just for the berth.
B/you never get to use the boat because it is to far away and takes a day to get there .
C/ goody another 6 hour delay with ATC/Ground staff etc what a nice airport lounge this is.So comfy.
D/if you do get down there, the wind makes it so uncomfortable that you do not go out.
E/Your boat turns a nice crispy brown colour due to sun.
F/you must keep photo of boat in wallet to enable recogition of your boat when arriving at marina due to not seeing it for six months and not being able to recall what it looks like.
F spend most of time during visit trying to recall if when you paid first payment on
boat it came with any key thingys for those big green things under the floorboards.
