Got a bit carried away on eBay...

and bought this

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

Think its worth the money OK but will certainly be a project, possibly not recoverable but worth trying! Any tips on fixing those floors? I presume Hypalon adhesive should work OK for sticking the tubes to the transum? Just bought some for a patch on my boat so would be handy if it worked.

Also includes the non running yam 3.5hp outboard, should be fun tinkering with it. Assuming the buyer sells it OK at that price and I dont see why not I will hopefully pick it up some evening next week.

That's a Zodiac Cadet... and a steal at £62 with the little Yammie. Is it air-cooled?

Regards the tube material - I suspect it's PVC (Strongan Duotex), not Hypalon. Use Polymarine's 2-part adhesive. Link here: 3026 PVC Adhesive, 2 Part, 250ml Tin

The Yam looks like a 3.5A - Air cooled and uses motorcycle two stroke.


I REALLY must get mine sorted and sold soon

We shouldn't put down people who may be less able than ourselves in certain areas but I think this is more a testament to the state of the UK and it's education system in particular. Seriously - it's the 21st century and people can't spell two letter words like "of"??? This reminds me of some Victorian pauper's scribbling from back in the day when only the upper classes went to school, sometimes it seems we've stepped backwards by 200 years

I find it quite funny that 20-30 years ago, many people were of the opinion that with the advent of mobile phones and computers etc. etc., grammar was no longer particularly important, "people don't write letters any more" they'd say. Kind of ironic that with text messages, emails, eBay listings etc., it's actually probably more important than ever!
