Swapped my 585 for a Goldfish!

I can't believe my luck! I've just swapped my 585 for a Goldfish! I can't wait to get her in the water later today!

I'll post a pic later

You want to get in the water ASAP - they don't like drying out! Use clean water, but not tap water

The guy was the second owner, he's kept ever receipt to show the running costs and it's a fraction of what I was thinking

Clucking Bell Alex. How the duck did you do that deal.you must be a brain sturgeon!!i thought this was a load of pollacks or codscallop. oh my cod. you swapped your 585 which you had fin-ished off and landed a bargain.Was he scaling back? i reely cant believe it. If you need help with the trailer let minnow!
Before you do the paper work dude make sure its of-fish-al.
Dont keep carping on now ma boy and get it on the water before you flounder as your skating on thin ice!
