niall_b73 41 Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 What size of boat are you after mate? freshwater? inland? outward? cheers for the links lads. so far i am looking for 14ft upwards boat with a small cabin. and i suppose she would have to do me for the piking inland in the winter and also be able to put to sea in the summer for a spot of mackie bashing & the like. niall_b73 Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 ok Niall, and what sort of money are you looking at? And are you willing to travel? Quote Link to post
niall_b73 41 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 ok Niall, and what sort of money are you looking at? And are you willing to travel? unfortunately i am limited to the whole of ireland, tho if it was a real bargin i might look into getting it shipped over if i could get a cheap enough quote at the minute my budget is around £1300. niall_b73 Quote Link to post
niall_b73 41 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) nice 1 mate, i was promised a good boat last year but they ran out of petrol off the coast of ireland and then they put diesel in to it instead. then the coast guard got them with a load of coke so that was that http://jp-ireland.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7D84D8D85790AC27!12695.entry niall_b73 Edited July 19, 2010 by niall_b73 Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 ok, niall, no worries, i did have 1 for sale but i amafraid it would be dearer than the price you had in mind, all the best in your search, old boat yaRds are good to look along rivers. bought many a good fishing boat in this way.... Boats that have been left or abandoned.... Quote Link to post
niall_b73 41 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 i dont think my target is that bad. i would love a boat like the one in the link below: http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/boats/1446358 the reason i want a cab is because i take my father & father inlaw out (and they aint getting any younger) with me & in the winter time they found it very cold at times, so a cabin where they can get some heat off the single ring gas cooker, lol. i'm sure what we have spent on hiring different boats on different loughs/lakes this year alone, we could have bought a damn good boat by now if we'd have saved it instead... or another boat that is now sold that i was looking at: http://www.boatshop24.co.uk/ZndvMjAwNzI4ODd+cHZ0=-ORKNEY_STYLE.html http://www.boatshop24.co.uk/ZndvMjAyNzAwMjR+cHZ0=-CATHEDRAL_CLASS.html so really i think it is just a matter of keeping a look out and getting in there quick !! just out of couriousity what have you for sale & what are you looking for it ?? niall_b73 Quote Link to post
