Hi everyone just thought i would share a few pics of our first ever boat. We picked it up last Wednesday and booked three days tuition for the Friday-Sunday. We had David aka Solitaire from Mendez Marine and all i can say is what a nice, helpful and patient chap he is, in fact i dont know what we would of done without him. So a big thanks David if your reading!
