Well it was time, the boats gone
Submitted by uncle on Fri, 2020-01-03 08:22
Had the boat for 35 years, only 2 motors, but time for it to go. Going to be a project boat i believe. It has served me well with countless trips some good fish on the deck. I have a few boats I can fish with so will be out and about. Anyone needing crew during the week just pm me.

Wow 35 years that’s amazing
Wow 35 years that’s amazing and looks like you’ve really looked after her. Must have many memories in that one
The longest I’ve had the same boat for is 8 years.
What is the current motor?

Sad day
That's a sad day, but also a good chance to reflect on the number of trips made and fish played with. Plenty of firsts for a lot of people on One Day.

An old rippa - the boat haha.
I landed a nice, just size baldy on it on the back of the three out from Hillarys with you that made my day.
Hopefully i can return the favour soon.

Room on mine
Welcome on mine uncle. Looking forward to next season white run and also planning to put a few pots in late January or February. Also want to see you catch some of your giant skippy and maybe a dhu or baldie when we get some good weather
Cheers

Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly

Sad da y when you gotta let
Sad da y when you gotta let something like that go. Be like a part of the family like one of your kids . Just doesn't ask to borrow money , just gotta keep it right.
I'm sure you will get out plenty enough on other boats
