Greetings all

[Avon Adventure]

Hi there, like most I've guessed its time to sign up after looking up nuggets for long enough.

The latest toy is a 2002 Avon Adventure 450 with a Mariner 60 EFI.

Its mainly used around Anglesey and the Wirral ish...

Ive lost count of the number of boats i have owned or shared since I was 11 but a mixture of power and sail .......blah blah.

The Mariner has thrown me an unexpected bill for a head off and grommet replacement (cooling system) after 1 season of ownership on top of the service but if you don't want to spend don't get a boat right

My new season is looking to be a bit light on crew so my latest dilemma is to add trailer docking arms (about £100) or replace the bunks with centralising rollers (£225) to ease launch and recovery. I know there are specific forums but it's just an introductory waffle and I'd be interested in any thoughts on the trailer solution.
Cheers.

Hi mate welcome, go rollers easy as on your own then just make sure they lead the boat in without damage to the hull.

Hi,
Thanks for the rollers comment, I guess I know this the better option but just need to justify the extra effort and costs to myself...
