Hi Norm

I've started using Blue tack Alan , bit softer and does the job ok .

Cornish lures 0870 7500319 old mouldy 01924 450035 Is £70 expensive - errr , yes . But should last a lifetime ( I hope ) [ 01. February 2004, 02:56 PM: Message edited by: dave m ]

Alan, I got mine of Peter Trott from "Cornish lures" , it is 10-8-6oz combo , good srevice cost about £70 . I paint them with fluro and lumi paint made by "Coovars" in Hull . Turns out a nice job .

Salar, Thanks for that , did you get any prices at all ? I've e-mailed for a quote . Dave , Thanks m8 , taking boat out in morning (Sun23rd) for first trip of season out of the Tyne .

Hi all , Thanks for the welcome everyone and the advice .I am currently based on the Tyne at Royal Quays and have a 6 m Diesel( Yanmar )inboard fishing boat ( 6/7 Knots tops )which is perfect in every way for my needs but its time to upgrade . Chris , the quicksilver is a right tool but I'm a dedicated diesel fan , however the speed is a strong point ( But 6 gall / hr - wow ) Newt , dead right mate - safety and reliability first . Salar, I've looked at that 620 in your neck of the woods and it has a Yanmar 85 hp , a rare type for the Antares . It looks good ! My Yanmar 2GM20 has never let me down ever and always starts first time . Where do you all fish by the way ? dave

Hi everyone , just new to the site and would like to ask a boating question . I am considering a new boat and have the options of a Nanni or a Volvo diesel , if anyone has any info on these engines or about the Antares 620 fisher I would much appreciate it . Thanks in advance, Dave m
