the burgee is tied to a flagstaff! i think it used to have attachement for nav lights, yet another bargain picked up at a boat jumble!!

yeh yellow flags had marshall writin on them, although it seemed people only took any notice of them, (despite how big and yellow they are!!!), after we screamed after them at 30knots for entering a restricted area etc!!!! Ah well not that i complained about the chasing people, was all good fun!!!!!!

It's a great boat, very fast!!! but we wanted something just that little bit bigger, with a deeper vee for use in the Mersey etc!!!

Haing looked into towing restrictions, the right boat for us and having travelled all over the country lookingfo a new boat, we found this one on boatsandoutboards in Preston, 30miles away up the M6!!!

Just have to sell the old one now!!! If anyone's interested let us kno!!!

tried to talk my dad into a boat each, but he's not having any off it!!! heh
