If i get this cash Ill have my own boat on the water so keep your fingers crossed!!!
Good luck on getting the boat. Offer to take the guy out to see how good the real boat is. And just maybe forget to bring him back after a run out to about the 2 mile mark!

Well ive been offered a brand new 6.5m for about £12k with 2 90hp engines on the back so might use it as a deposit towards that, or the 8.5m version with 2 Yamaha 200 AETX for £32,000 (totally different higher spec in the 8.5 hence different price)

That is a relief to hear, unfortunately Im in middle of Ambulance Technician training so i wont be able to reply to emails until after 4pm tomorrow so it will be slow setting up

But im sure they will be quick once things are in place. I just need to organise a copy of the CCJ as I cant find the original one :S

Damn me and moving house in the meantime.

That said if they succeed thats a decent 2nd hand rib paid for and the first year of Paramedic Training (Depending of course on their fees which I would imagine wont be cheap)

Bit suspicious that the only other feedback he has as a seller is from Carrie Eldridge to "Meldridge".

I have spent about 6 months being taken for a ride by Dan Cooper and has completley ruined the whole years boating and added extra stress that i did not need, he has now left me with no choice but to pay him a visit to get my parts or money back. I will not be messed around by idiots like this even though i live about 250 miles away from suffolk this has me at boiling point.

He is either the worst business person ever who has absolutely no idea what they are doing or a complete idiot who needs to seek psychological help as he clearly has something very wrong with his mental state.

Definately the way to go - I'd be exactly the same.

I'm sure organising lynch mobs in public isn't allowed.

Not sure but it's probably frowned upon.

Anyway it's not a lynch mob it's a ride in a bus for some special people....

So he didn't learn his lesson. Perhaps having the shit kicked out of him might do the job!
