Let me know your thoughts on her. I'm in the bar at Pillings Lock Marina at the mo, so you can tell me them in person if you happen to be in the vicinity!

Hoorah! Well done, you, I hope that you and Lolita are happy together.

Thanks!

Thanks, Ray - I hope so too!

 

P.S. Will have to save any further replies until I get home - battery is running low on phone - am in the bar for another hour or two, should anyone fancy a beer!

[Sydknee]

Congratulations she (assuming boats are female) looks really nice.

 

Only got our first boat less than a month ago and really enjoying it.

Thanks, Louby... I've certainly got a LOT of learning to do! I was up against a deadline with regards securing my mooring, which wasn't ideal. But she ticked most of my boxes.

[Kae]

Congratulations!

 

Bet you can't wait to get out onto the cut with her!

Thanks!

Sorry, Freudian slip.

[Richard T]

Have they fixed the cupboard doors yet? Two fell off in my hand when we viewed this boat. Otherwise it was OK but didn't do what we wanted. Good luck with it.

Well done. We got our current boat from ABNB a year ago - found them to be helpful and honest.

Agreed - nice and boaty.

 

... looks like you have a nice shed at the back too.

And this.

 

I'm jealous - still browsing but still not in a position to buy.

[freddy]

Pump out kahzi! Good choice

 

Well done. Here's to you having lots of happy times together.

 

Don't worry, the 'I've got a boat ' feeling doesn't wear off!

 

We bought through ABNB too.

Nice looking boat - at what seems like a good price too (assuming of course you didn't pay the full asking price)

 

Pity you made the wrong bog choice but that is easily rectifiable.....

 

Being serious for a sec. it's a nice boat - if you are content and happy nowt else matters - just enjoy it!!....

[Rambling]

she looks lovely. How exciting. That wonderful feeling when you buy a new boat.

 

Make sure you get that stove checked for cracks and safety before you use it (especially if it is over 10yrs old). Get a carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector and have a gas check if you have gas on board (bubble tester) Safety first. Have fun!

Congratulations, I also bought a boat today, my first, a 30ft Sea Otter currently at Tewkesbury Marina, and stopping there until the river starts behaving! Then there will be no stopping us!

Well done she looks a lot of boat for the money. we bought ours in May and although we have not had the chance to use it as much as we had hoped, knowing its there still gives me a nice glow,
