Lol, looking at the Heads, that would be an interesting visit in any kind of swell, some form of seat harness would be in order. The Heads on my MFV was midships so you only had to deal with the roll, that one being right in the bow....wow
Nice looking tub though, and the engine hole looks clean which is always a good sign and no visable streaks down the planking....mind you, dont know how old the pics are.
I like it

Under other circumstances I would be interested but as I said too much on my plate,I have only just managed to get rid of my little Shetland. With Shapfell and Sabina H that's too much

Just be aware that Gumtree is chock-a-block full of rip off merchants who advertise boats for sale that they have simply copied off of other sites. I'm not saying that this is one of those, but it does seem to be under-priced.

John if you ever see a small boat ,I could do with a tender for my boat. Nothing fancy just something so I can work on the outside of my boat with . I'd really appreciate you letting me know. It would be handy and speed up the renovation of my boat no end.

Kriss, do you have any specification of the boat you want?
do you mean something like a medium sized dinghy 8 to 10 foot?
or something a little smaller 6 to 8 foot?
have you thought of something on the lines of a small work punt?
or is that a bit too restrictive
smallish dinghies in a distressed state (GRP hull watertight but grotty looking but wooden fittings, seats, gunnell etc rotten) turn up every now and again
If that is the sort of thing, I'll put the word out so that I'm told about the next one that turns up
The other thing is, have you a means of collection?

The kind of thing you describe John is exactly what I'm after, medium size would be ideal I suppose although how big isn't so important. A small dinghy would be good because I could have a bit of fun in it when not working. I'd have to sort out transport I don't have a vehicle myself, so the nearer to where I am the better. I'd much appreciate it if you let me know of one.
It's so I can get the outside of my boat ground off vacttaned and painted. So it doesn't want to be posh. The only thing I wouldn't be interested in is anything inflatable.
