Full credit for persistence.

As he says, the trailer is worth at least the £800 asking, so you can just dump the boat . . .

Perhaps Top Gear should do a 'caravan' job on crap boats?

Can I take a crack?

This is the first boat I've owned.

Ski,dive ,fishing,
This is what I wanted to do with a boat, so I'm selling this one.

Quote:
This boat is very stable and does not roll when you move around in it due to the large tubes,
Plus the fact that it's on the trailer. Think I'm going to put it in the water? Think again.

Quote:
The trailer is heavy duty galvanised and is ex army built to last,the winch is brand new
Bought a new winch to distract potential buyers from the plight of the trailer...



Oh, well... luck to the guy. And to whoever ends up with this thing.

I'm not sure whether you're joking or not there! I missed the bit about originally built on a rib in the ad. I wonder what it was originally?
