Owe you one Thanks guys, just back after the week or so on the boat, only as T is working and she needs the car.

Who has another wee project then, Come on Captain faffer , do tell. Seen your post on the other channel. Which one Jim, looked at that many. None decided upon yet but for the the Fisher 37 is a no go a she wants near Β£5K for it, its a bloody hull and perkins engine. thats it. The Colvic Northener 26 is a no go now. Didnt go for the wooden boat in Glasgow either. Or the 36 foot power boat. Or the three Sports cruisers. So now is it the talking of the Freeman 30 ? i am going down to look at in a few weeks. I do like them and a good size all rounder. Gazza, its on props not them whisk`y things lol. Runs twin 4cyl Bedford

Runs twin 4cyl Bedford Ohhh a Big Freeman - nice boat, they didnβt mince about with egg whisks ππ Keep your fingers crossed it has its original fit out - the joinery is excellent on Freemanβs, just like the original fit out on JohnV Ormelite is top notch. Enthusiastic wood butchers soon ruin a good boat π’π€¬π€¦πΌββοΈ

just best stay of ebay while on the cider and a wooden boat come along lol. Should take your advice Wayne ..... it's not just ebay though appalling duck can be nearly as bad !!! The other day saw a boat on there (posted about it on the interesting boats thread) ...... can't stop thinking about it ..... ticks all the boxes and the photos look great ........ but it's wood !!!I have seriously been thinking about going and having a look ...... but I have a horrible feeling that if I do, I will fall in love with it and sign up to a lifetime of pain and heartbreak. (ok, I know that at my age it will probably be a shortish lifetime) ...... I am concerned that it may be an early sign of going nutty

I am concerned that it may be an early sign of going nutty I was sooo tempted at this one for Β£1500 38 foot 10 beam PitchPine on Oak. I do love wooden tubs as you know and cant believe have resisted not getting one. But i have hopes for the Freeman. Found out the price he wants which is good so i can weigh up cost to get it moved to Redhil Marina now in Nottingham.

Now I have an old wooden boat which I want to repair and paint. I suggest you read some special Faqs or articles.
