is that the same boats they use on fad and mentieth?
if so then a wee mail to either fishery might help you out.

Hiya, yep ,the very same...but we dont want brand new, as they cost a fortune....among the "fleet" we have a couple of Clinker boats, and a couple of Coulams, same as Rutland boats......they do a great job. We dont really want to go and spend thousands on a new boat ,not just now anyway..
thats why we're looking for second hand...
Thanks for your input tho, I probobly will mail them to see if they have any for sale..

Hiya, Well, I was lucky enough to be the first angler on the new boat today, ...tho', I only lasted 45 mins,,,totally unprepared for the cold westerly wind....should have known better too
The boat handled like a dream, and drifted perfectly, it was light to steer and row.......the club might now be buying a new one..
But, in that 45 mins, had 2 nice rainbows to 3lbs, and a load of pulls.. taken on a Green Fraggle ?? with a slow sink line...had loads of bites on the "hang" too....
Looking forward to the weekend now..
Couple of wee pics of the pontoon that is being built...
