I'm looking for a small fishing boat (8 or 9ft) along with trailer, and possibly outboard too. I've been thinking about it for a while, so I'm not trying to do it for next to no money...

 

If anyone has a boat they are selling, knows a mate who is selling one, or has any pointers on where to start my search then I'd be very grateful!

 

Cheers!

Thios one is one I anm watching myself!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=2419855502 Much better bet than yours Nugg!!

The thing is Fred you will get a boat a lot!! Cheaper than any of the sites you are looking at and you get to ask questions having at least seen the offending object!!

You could also have a look at www.loot.co.uk A few bargains on there time to time!!

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??


(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

O.K. if you want to row the bleedin thing, I suppose, or shell out for an engine on top.

Its got an open cabin too. It doesn't mention a fish finder, do you want one?

If thats what you want go for it!!!!!!

Chris & Nugg, amazing, I was only just looking at those two boats last night. Must say though that Nugg's suggestion seems the better choice. :P

 

 

Eat right, stay fit, die anyway.

The boat I have suggested is most likely too big anyway?? (from your post I susect you want one for a lake etc??) But with a Seagull at say £60 it would be a nice boat.

Nugg yours is still to reach reserve at £600. The engine alone is worth £600!! So waht price the boat etc. Sorry but whilst neither fits the bill I think my boat is a better prospect, I have been looking myself for some several months now so I think I have a feel for what to look for. That is not neccesarily the first that LOOKS to be the best!!

Good luck Fred and if you think I can be of any help please don't hesitate to let me know!!

Maybe this is more what you want from a boat.    :P

They must be taking the mick at that price though! I've found exactly the same boat on-line for $719 in the States - that's around £450 - less than half the price!.
