Hi all,
Am hoping for a few bargins this year, top of the list are some new binoculars but if the right deal can be struck a new plotter, depth, log and ais (doubtful but hopeful lol).
What are other folks looking for?
 
We are on the lookout for an inflatable tender suitable for our MF645. We have some holidays planned for next year that wont have walkashore moorings, and also would like to do some shallower 'exploring'.
The plan is to get a row-able tender that we can add an outboard to later.

As this is completely new to us we have absolutely no idea what we're looking for at the moment, so hoping SIBS will give us some ideas.
 
I am on the look out for a watermaker, an even bigger f*** off anchor, a wifi system, windmeter and an AIS thingy
 
Potentially:

Raymarine plotter and radar scanner
Water toys - towable and attached
H/H vhf
RIB accessories
Mattresses
Bedding

That's aboit it

Oi, Jez! You said you could only go on the preview day. If you buy all that stuff then, the rest of us will be forced to spend the rest of the show wandering through halls empty except for sales personnel with huge smiles on their faces. :D
 
I think I can trump you
I am hopefully going to sign up for a spanking new 45footer with bells and whistles, if I can strike the right bargain
Quite exciting and very frightening feeling
Will let you know
 
Hopefully tender with the potential for an outboard later,
Also after a couple of those snubber things that looks like something else that's stops the snatching of lines to shore, I always have a chuckle when I see them with my mate, we always make the same joke and always act like adolescent school boys :o Oh what a small basic mind I have :rolleyes:
 
I was going to SBS to buy myself a new RIB with console steering and a nice new outboard to go on the back.

That was until SWMBO's car went pop.........

Maybe next year then.

St hey are very good but very phallic ?

On my 645 I started with a Lodestar Ultralight, then moved to an inflatable kayak and only have some waders on board for getting ashore now. Would only take a tender now if I was really sure I needed it. Just sayin from experience.

LOL, I was once browsing in a swindlery when a school-aged lad, on a Saturday job, approached the gnarly old seadog behind the counter and said, "customer wants a snubber - where are they, what do they look like?" Old seadog replied in a voice that could be heard on the waterfront, "Far corner; looks like a big black dildo" :D

LOL. My friend, who is not a boaty person but comes with me to the show, always asks me the same question " whats that do" with my reply is it helps prevent the snatch of the line to shore" We then both grin because I then continue " as no one likes a bad snatch"
