Two steps back

[Keithy P]

Unfortunately, sometimes you have to move backward before you can move foreward.

I sold my reef tinny the other day, and the new brumby is under construction, I needed something to satisfy my addiction until it gets here that I can stick on the roof of my car as Im heading up the cape in a couple of weeks.

It floats, it doesnt take too much water, and it only cost $200.

But it looks like a crushed XXXX can.

The pic doesnt do it justice, unfortunately the scenery was a little too artistic looking at the time to get a good pic, but you get the idea from the inside

Looks like the anchor rope is not rotten, and the quick welding job on the front seat looks schmick:eek::eek:.You gotta find the good points on a $200 boat.I have a 1962 DE Havilland Sea Otter that I paid $200 for and it floats.

[Keithy P]

Sea otter????

$200 sounds like a bargain, they probebly went upwards of a grand in their day!!

Doug?

looks like what Doug came here in laugh1

Keith once the brumby is delivered you can fill the $200 one with concrete and use it as a mooring for over nighters...

[Keithy P]

Are you kidding:eek:!!! With all the money I've spent on Ferope to get it up to the standard it is now. I recon up here I'll be able to get at least $202 maybe even $202.50 for it when I have finished with it:rolleyes:.

We aren't all rich ambos zipping around on personal watercraft Davedoh

[Doug]

I think Keith and his new boat are perfectly matched - old, battered, covered in barnacles and worth about a hundred bucks just for the scrap value.

[Keithy P]

You're right there Doug, I do like cheap, banged up old crusty stuff.

Thats why I like you so much! :rolleyes:

[Doug]

I'm not cheap!!! I'm very reasonable.:D

or put multiple holes in it, sink it and make it your own artificial reef!

Keithy P,

I'm going to have to come up for a fishing session when I move back to Cairns, should do a double boat trip if you're keen?

I have some spots for around the tip as I lived up there for two years, lmk when you are going and I'll give you some tips.

[DvrDve]

reckon u could get at least 40 boat ppl/asylum seekers in there and make some $$ that way

The truth slipped out in the chat room one night that Doug came here on a convict barge, courtesy of a loaf of bread he stole. (and for all them murders what he done) (FYI if you say murder with a Scottish accent...it sounds like..mudder)

[Doug]

Ruggish! I came here to bale out the Australian Air Force who didn't have any gasmen. Trouble was, that when I went to go home, the RAF had replaced me with an LACW half a day a week, and they didn't want me back. Buggers still owe me four flights back 'ome.

I deny stealing the bread, and the murders were all just little mistakes with the blue gas. The courts let me off with a warning about drinking before breakfast.

[Giffo]

I thought it was the Germans, that had the Gasmen Doug ?
