there is a step in the path beside the sea and as the waves hit it
they get airborne

the tide was vicious and ferries were coming within feet of us .

hiya Mike

Y it's one of the ones i was looking at, I could have got it half the price
on your side of the pond but then the import and taxes would have
killed it :-( your boats are so cheap compared to ours.

shes pretty small at 19 feet but has everything I need
and I can still trailer her with my little work van.

she's still going to cost me almost £300 to fill the
fuel tank EEEK !! close to $500

thanks Mike, i'll have to join that forum now won't I hehe

Where would be a good place to get one of those
hard tops supported by aluminium tube for the Trophy

only tower i have seen is on ebay at over £1200

like this one

 would imagine due to shipping you have to go local. I used to have a simmilar  sea pro and had a half tower welded and I installed a can as rp laced onto it

Nice Rich! Those are nice boats *edit* for a Bayliner *edit*. Can't wait to see the top you'll put on it. Gunna go with the baby buggy styles?

gsWHy's wrong with the top on it ? You can put it down Nd get plenTy of air
Title: Re: New boat :-)
Post by: fragged8 on September 06, 2011, 11:52:56 am
the top on it is in really good condition but if i had to replace it
i'd look at keeping it the same, only because part of the reason
for changing boats in the first place was I didn't like being
shut up in a pilothouse.

I do like the idea of these though
