Lads,
Does anybody have one of these or have any opinions on them? Was considering selling the orkney and 'upgrading'.

They seem to have a very good reputation for being able to handle a chop and be comfortable at speed. I think BigKev has one, might be worth a PM.

I have been thinking about a boat for some time, but will have to mooch in on a few trips first to see if I take a liking to it.

The old man is getting a 165. Due in from the UK in less than 2 weeks. :lol: :lol: Cant wait.

Heard the cant be sunk?? The filled it with weights, pushed it under water and made sure there was no air pockets. Let it go and she popped back up. :shock: :shock:
Dont know how true that is but it won some award for being safe.

Anyway, i'll let you know in 2 weeks (finger crossed).

Pete, you have a pm

Sorry for the late reply but I've been fishing for small freshwater fish with "mayflies". And no, they are not a new jelly!

Great boat, if a little basic. Not quite as well finished as a Warrior, but fast, great handling boats
