Possibly.....

Bet you can't hear the battery charger and the flatscreen TV picture is not affected by the DVD.

But yes, this looks quite decent, much less manky than the corrugated steel DUKWs (sp?) I remember from Southport beach. It's quite well styled, even some curves. If you want a large DUKW, this is definitely the one to go for :)

Ah, my weekend\'s looking up then

.....in which case would be a damn sight more use than the Fairline, which is now delayed in the workshop with that excuse which ranks alongside leaves on the line, namely "we haven't ordered the parts yet". My whole weekend is cancelled becuase of these goons. (It is however fortunate that they are not responsible for anything more critical than fixing big toys).

Re: Ah, my weekend\'s looking up then

So I still have the wrong radar, after 8 weeks. When the man finally turned up to fit a new colour unit on the flybridge, he went away because he had realised it wouldn't work with the old lower helm unit. But he didn't tell anyone. At the same time, I realised it wouldn't work, too, so I took the lower one out, intending to get it upgraded. As it happened, the nice man at Sealine helpfully swapped it for a new one.

The radar man took the new unit back to Raymarine, who downgraded it.

He came back, only to realise we had upgraded the lower one, so he took the new one away again to have it upgraded again. In the process, it blew up. So we had to put the old non-upgraded lower unit back, just to get it to talk to the old flybridge unit. We're waiting for a new colour one, so we can start the process all over again...
