Hello and welcome NormanW,

Before someone comes along and "berates" you for not filling in some Bio details on the page, it might be an idea to put some details in.

Have a good time reading the posts on all the fora and post your twopence worth too!!

Mind how ye go.

Dunno what an Octa... Ocuet...eau is. But yer pick looks like a mobo. So step down the list a bit.

This place is PBO or Poverty stricken Boat Owners.. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Welcome. The boat seems to have something to do with bashing fish over the head..........

Hi, and welcome Norman W. I just realised that Royal quays is where my boat lived before the previous owner moved it up to Inverkip, it is a Hummingbird 30, and named Hummingbird, ever come across it there? the guys name was Richard Cone.
Cheers, Eamonn.

Good choice, I have nothing but praise for mine. Well, it could do with a separate light switch, but that is a minor niggle. I love the barometer, I am terrible for forgetting to watch my proper brass one, so it's trend display is invaluable for me.

Hello and welcome.

You will probably find that you will get even more useless information if you post on the MoBo forum. There are also quite a few self appointed master fishermen on there.
This PBO forum tends to be more for ancient mariners who deal a lot with wood (whatever that is) and semi rusted-away single cylinder diesel engines or even worse, Seagull outboards /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[ShipsWoofy]

Why?

 

[Sixpence]

I wonder what you said before the edit /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif , as if /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Sixpence]

I'm sorry , but I disagree , there are more users on mobo that are up for a giggle , but you get more practical and accurate comments in here

 

[Norman625]

Thanks for the advice folks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
