Hi all, After years of working, doing the grown up stuff like buying a house, and then buying and subsequently selling my 33 Workboat, I've found a Sports Fisherman in need of a bit of a tidy up. she is a 1980 model ex charter boat, with a 300hp engine which is the size I wanted. Comfortable cruising speed...

After a really rubbish start to this year, with the boat breaking free from her moorings, we are finally nearing completion of the repair works. The moorings parted on 17th January and the boat washed up ashore a concrete slipway after taking what I can only imagine was a really big knock to the bottom....
