Rather pissed off at the moment to tell the truth - getting rather fed up with a certain lot in Guernsey - watch this space!!!

Well, it has been rather a long time. You've been very patient with them.

i wonder which way the patience really is, with the boat builder waiting for payment so he can release the boat and get his hard earned cash or fishshrimp waiting on some extroadinary event that the boat builder has not been able to sort out..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


so far i have found it all relatively easy so cant understand where the problem is.......

identify what i want
agree price
instruct to go ahead and give deposit
when finished pay remainder and pick up item
then bolt it all together
shove it down the slip way and hope for the best!!

does sound easier when you say it fast!!

back by popular demand codeyes!!!

was going to wait till march to see if your boat materialised then or what excuse you came up with but with you talking about giving them the last chance i could not resist responding........its only the same question everyone is wondering but few say.....

so the boat builder is blaming you and you are blaming the boat builder.......what a carry on and what are we all to believe?

Who cares really but anyway before the yawners arrive i need to go as i have a boat to build!!

no thats ok i dont mind in the slightest.........and is actually a fair point.

never driven an osprey, never even seen one in the water, never been on one on the water so looking forward to the whole experience indeed.

everyone says they are great and seaworthy so that is good enough for me....

very much looking forward to getting out there on the water and having fun, suspect i will be learning for the rest of my life...

oh god i hope so, that is why we are getting it.......we can then just use the shetland on the river for our drinking/fishing family breaks and keep the vipermax for the sea for waterskiing, wakeboarding and general day fun. then we have best of both worlds.

Next year hoping to get out a lot and join a lot of cruises and travel round the country as well, we are down in cornwall end of may first two weeks in june visiting the meva area calling in on roy, mollers and the crowd down there. but want to get to most of the southern ports along the coast to check em all out. Hence the trailer for getting around.

PS probably is easier to learn to drive a rib when you have one!!!

Codders don't get my intentions wrong-- but if I were you would check the solvency of ProSport ribs.... .


If you want -- I am pretty well laid up physically for the next three months.
You are welcom to come over pick up my rib for the day and do some serious ribbing. Its better for the boat to see action than stuck in my drive.???
I got new props the other day( going for 23" this time) It will take you about 5 mins. to put them on. I am about 2 hours drive from Niewport.

Would LOVE to take you up on your offer - looks a great boat but Belgium bit too far away - at least it is when there already not enough hrs in a day!!!
