Wanna swap Charlie?

Bleh, moving up to Sheffield just before that so might not be able to warrant the extra distance :|

Is it manly powerboats or the wussy things powered by a sheet?

At least those "sheet-powered" don't stink to high heaven and use as much fuel for a channel crossing as the average american does in a year

But if you offered me a predator 85, I wouldn't say no.

Of course I do, it was just an educated guess as to his whereabouts. You fool.

Someone obviously hasn't sailed offshore in bad weather then. Wussy is not the word I'd choose.

The show usually caters for power and sail I think.

Anyone know if Wally will be there? Quite fancy a look at a Wallypower 118.

He might be but it's always hard finding him in the crowd.

With regards to the boats, I'd love to have a toot round one.

i wouldnt say no to a predator 85 either if they made one,its a pedator 82 you are thinking off,and if all you lot think sunseeker,princess,fairline etc are good cheak out on the web pershing,they are the big boys of pleasure powerboats,and if you want to hire a sunseeker for the day drop me a email [e-mail] anything you like from a 34 hawk to the predator 82 that you saw at SBS last year that was in the water.all boats are from southampton and come with skipper and hostie upto 12 people and can cost as little as £150 each.i can meet people at the show and take to view some of the boats offered in a local marina.and as for the guy with the sheet boat u are known in the trade as WAFI stands for wind assisted f****** idiot.

I've never really understood the animosity between powerboaters and sailors. There are numpties and competent seamen who use both.
