Thread: New boat incoming

I always found I catch more fish in small boats (under 14ft), but way more knackered afterwards due the battering. My buddy that I often go fishing with has just bought a fucking enormous Surtees 7 odd meter thing, so the joke is we're going to go and not catch fuck all, further away hahahahaha

I was out on an old 12ft ramco ranger last saturday with a mate of mine he borrowed the dinghy off a mate of his by the end of the day I could not wait to get out of the bloody thing and when I stood up I was as stiff as a sailboard and still bloody sore the next day including my arse from sitting on an aluminium bench seat all day.
My boat has got plastic swivel seats a nice flat floor and a 1.8 meter beam as stated in a previous post which gives extra width to the boat (I wouldn't class this one as just a dinghy) and a gullwing style hull with wide chines and a shallower v in the transom area to give nice stability when on anchor and meant to give a softer ride when moving, dead rise is 11 degrees variable. In fact the FC boats have received a lot of praise on the fishing.net forums, another boat shop in hamilton had a second hand FC390 on their yard last week and was sold 3 days after they had put it on the yard so they are quite popular.
