Dylan and I will be there on Monday (9th)

Hightower · 05 January 2006, 21:09

I won't be there, our budget is being spent on a Kitchen this year

. Don't even know if I can afford to come out on Monday night, but if the missus isn't looking I might pop out for a minute or two

Too many kids birthdays to sort out this time of year to be able to go and look at shiny boaty things..

Martin · 05 January 2006, 21:48

We are having to go this weekend as have family commitments on the following one (Mum's Birthday).

Sorry not to be able to meet up with peeps, but we will see some of you at church on Monday.

We will be going on the 14th

We are going just to look around, but i do want to go on some of the small boats e.g beneteau and alike to see what you get for your money. Then at ribex have a look at what you get in a cabin rib for your money. I dont expect like for like but the next boat is going to have a cabin and it will be with us for along time

its not really a cabin, like the parkers or redbays. Alot of the "cabin ribs" are more large console with a hole in it....but thats my view

GED · 07 January 2006, 17:26

inside it was quite roomy seating 6 people

peter pan · 07 January 2006, 18:48

Walked a hundred miles, seen loads of boats I couldn't afford !

Wanted to buy Chart Plotter, need help to know which one to buy, too many to choose from.

Limited budget, so all advice welcomed.

Boat show dangerous place to take the better half as nearly bought Hot Tub, Garden Furniture and a £400,000 boat ! But it wasn't a rib so we left it alone!!

Dan have you not tried telling the "current" Mrs Daniel TD5 that you are going to the Boat Show on that night?

DJL · 08 January 2006, 15:48
