Roll on summer!

Nope, that's the tender to 'Whitelighter' /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'm swingin' mine now on shiny davits now. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

But underneath it is a fender to protect stern thruster. (gone now)

 

[Pinnacle]

...the fender, or the stern thruster? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[DoubleVision]

Did you buy anything to hang from the shiny new davits yet?

Hey Roger - How come you have 3 aerials then?

 

[RogerRat]

Well funny really... I swapped the Suzimar air deck and snap davits with Jez for a Quicksilver air deck.

He then bought my 5Hp and I found a slightly used Mercury 10XR.

Damn quick now! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

1. Vhf - Dual station with Intercom
2. DSC Vhf (Silva S15)
3. AM/FM Radio (bit daft really)
and
4. Navtex (on S15 Smaller Stubby Dual frequency)

What make / model boat is in the 3rd photo? Looks like a offshore 105 / lochin or similar?

 

[duncan]

It's lacking scale but more the Offshore 25 proportions to me - agree the stable though!

 

[Whitelighter]

I beleive it is an offshore 25. Got a 315hp Yanmar in it and it goes like stink /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[jointventureII]

Tis a nice looking vessel.
The radar arch makes it look a bit like a lochin.
315 horses...that must have a serious turn of pace!

 

[Whitelighter]

It is quick, and it sounds fantastic when it rumbles out of the marina. Serious fishing machine that one.
