I'm Bored, so i thought how about we all post our pics of our Lochins being craned (or trailered) in or out of the water! Also, a point of interest, is it just me, or does the main Lochin Website hardly contain a single lochin picture? ie if you click on new boats & then click on Lochin 40 or Lochin 333 the...
