It's as though someone thought "I'll try fishing" bought everything "the man" in the shop said is a must have and decided it wasn't for them.

Yep sadly it hints of my late dad who would do that in shops with everything he bought that could have add-ons. But it taught me a lesson in what not to do and I'm much more considered with purchases.

That's almost scam cheap. If genuine the bargain of the year.

This just came up on eBay, probably taken in px against a car purchase. Seems very cheap but if you live in the area it's got to be worth checking out:-

1960s Original Humber Sib question.

Quote:

Hi all,

Does anyone know how rare these might be? Cant be too many of them about. Humber told me it's one of the first boats they produced. Be interested to know if there's many more out there.


It's in surprisingly good condition. Pretty sure its hypalon. Needs a little bit of attention. Nothing major, just reinforcing a little.

Its spent the last few decades in a country mansion garage off the m25 I believe. Ive got a little 1999 3.3hp Johnson to try on it. On a side note, I put that same engine on my canoe in Scotland last week. Stabilizers obviously, worked an absolute treat.

Cheers

Very similar look to the 1972 hypalon Zodiac I owned. I love a varnished wood floor and transom.

Its a tidy little boat considering its 50 odd years old. Late 60s early 70s i was told.


Trying to find out what the tubes exact valve connection is for around that time. I presume the valve fittings where fairly standard like they are today. I'm using a C7 on the Attaque. But its not the greatest fit on this Dingy.

Zodiac Milpro Fuel Bladder

Spotted these on eBay, nothing to do with me but I thought they may be of interest to some.
