pantydropper for lack of a more detailed explanation... the effect large beautiful boats or expensive cars have on women causing them to well.. the rest is pretty self explanatory. definition adapted from urbandictionary.com, a completely family friendly site.

when talking garbage on this site one has to keep reminding oneself of its pg 10 requirements :fbash. n

Thika lets not bring family into it, my sister wouldn't have the time of day for this forum. My old man, ya he would agree that this boat is one extreme P$%^&ty Dr077er! and there are definitely cheaper ways to pull tail, without the woodwork.

now thika the SE has got to my head and you and me are both going mad. Challenge on, you just come tow the fat girl for me, i dont feel like the effort unless i stand a chance of catching something that dosent fit in the fish box and has sickles.

tightlines friend

lets go speak poo elsewhere. just missed you at breede i see?

Hi guys play nice. I was ten eleven years old when most of those old wooden boats were in Simon's Town. They are beautiful creatures to look at and i can say with experience that the wooden boats were solid in heavy weather. Fibre glass boats of the same stature imported from America used to take a hammering when fishing off Cape Point. Fibre boats were known to burn and the hull were prone to flexing and cracks. As with cars i like AC cobra's not a very practical car, but big horsepower and it legacy has its place with me. Big wooden boats with turbo charged diesel engines that sit solid on the water. Well thats just me. To the owner well done on an awsome revamp she will serve you well.

Well that sums it up ,

* The new owner have a long history with this particular boat , as Students they used to crew on her and jokingly said back in the 70's joked and said one day he is going to buy this boat. Last year he did.

I wonder who invented boats. How did they think of that?

@BFC, nice job on the refurb, what is the fuel consumption of this beast to the deep? 400lt?

Not Sure, I think 500-600 , is more in line , This I base off a trip we did with a Rodman 1250 a while back and used 550L for the day .

So that's more or less what a 35ft Ge-Cat would give one, but this is a lot more style full. Talked to a guy who owns a 45ft Lee-cat and he was quoting 250lt of fuel for a trip from Gordensbay, but I'll be really surprised if that wasn't sales talk.

Please post more photos of the rest of the boat.

Last year during the Tuna Derby in Houtbay , there was a 36ft 2Oceans Magnum with 2x350hp V8 Yammies and they used 790L for the Day. The only guys I know of that keeps it under 300L for a day in the deep is 24-26ft boats running twin 115's 135's or 140's anything bigger is between 400-600L.
