[L Hooker]

Pity, enjoy your new boat. Maybe wait a while and try get hold of a HD colour unit.

Thanks again man. Believe me there's loads to do on the new boat till I will be happy

Jan and Myself will hand out the "do's & Don’ts. The skipper must just ensure that he steers the boat, finds the fish and watches us catch with enthusiastic, encouraging comments. Depending on our success will determine who buys the bottle.

Can't wait to collect the boat. I am certain we are going to continue having enjoyable fishing days together. Never worry Mr E. With everyone on the boat being skippers, I am sure we will give you a little time off the wheel to catch a fry.

Laaitjies of luck with her.

@$$#%$$%&...................the boat is off guys......took her for a sea trial and she is not what I am looking for.....I was so excited , and now am so dissapointed , and if I can give any buyer a piece of advice , dont just run the motors with a hose. Take the boat on a sea trial..................

Anyways..........guys , I have a little bit of cash available and am looking for a boat.

Flippit Man Sorry to hear you were disappointed in the boat. I am also looking at a Billfish 17' with centre console config. Can you maybe let me know what you were unhappy about ...

I would also be interested in why you don't like the boat.

Cheers

There's a little work to do on the deck. Lid for the fishhatch,covers for the cupboards and a proper electrical box needs to be installed. If you are handy that's nothing , We took it on the sea and there were four large boys and she was rocksteady. So its a good hull ,my cousin did not like the fact that there were no ribs at the bottom of the hull for stability and I don't know that it made a difference. The motors were not set up properly. He wasn't ready for us. He says its all sorted now but I already bought another boat. I was also concerned about the two 85s on a 17 foot from a fuel consumption point of view. I liked the hull very much but when you buy a boat you buy a boat correctly set up.

so I picked up this little baby and she had some work to be done , but my mate Petes got that magic ability of being aable to bend his mind to any task and after quite a few mods , we are going to give her a good run on saturday.....


Shes not exactly what I wanted , about a foot too short , but she will have to do till I find the right hull...
