Broker's Comments

The first time I ever cast off in a boat was in a craft very similar to this one. 8 years old, a sandwich box and a couple of rods with my dear old Grandad (God rest his soul) off for the day on what to me was the most exiting adventure ever. We didnt catch anything except sunstroke, so what..... the bug had bit. Somebody is going to get the most economical and sturdy of proper little boats with this one. The bullet proof simple diesel engine runs all day on just the smell of an oily rag. Give the hand start a turn;- after 10 hours of put, put, put, put, put, put, (you can make the noise), you will get home having used about one gallon. Think about it.
For the pure nostalgia of that engine noise, I want it myself, only my wife has told me if I come home with another boat it had better be big enough to live on.
