HItting the wall. Thinking about bailing out.

I know, but did he go out in flames or just slink away into the night?

Who knows?

Slunk away I think. Amazingly, there were still one or two people who believed him (or perhaps just really wanted to).

@alt was all set to fly out if I remember correctly ?

Yup, the joys of being a student... change plans at the drop of a hat.

Of course, when I told him to book the flights, it all went quiet!! That was the acid test.

He had plenty of support here, lots of constructive support not just smilies and platitudes.

Not so sure, doesn't make for great supportive reading when you read it all back. I'm not surprised he moved on. Appreciate I am in the minority here...

I think the issue was he started out super confident and I certainly thought…here’s a guy that knows what he’s doing. A few days later…how do I sell it. Talk about mixed messages. I still think going electric would have made the boat very special. He had a virtually new generator!

You are talking about P35.

You are talking about P35.

Well spotted.

Anyone who strips the whole thing out and throws it all away does not know what they are doing

Or they are expert. It’s a 50/50 ?

Says who ?

I’ve seen many refits where the entire interior and machinery have been thrown out and refitted.

I have no doubt our friend with the p35 will do what he set out to do.

However I doubt he will post on here sadly.

Yes, but any building material you care to mention has gone up enormously in the last 2 years, making a cheap job on an old boat not really acheivable or worthwhile unless you end up keeping it until you or the boat dies.

Tell me about it….vinyl wrap has gone from 8.99 a metre to 9.99! Daylight robbery ?
