JonD Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I spotted another little zodiac on gumtree like the one we used to have and showed it to my daughter yesterday. Normally she finds it very hard to make any decisions especially when her own money comes into it, not such the case when she saw this, it was love at first sight.Weather was to bad for this mornings charter meaning we had just enough time to drive up the coast and get back in time for her afternoon charter. Managed to squeeze a quick test run after her charter which gets the full thumbs up from a very excited young girl!!! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocler Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The smile says it all. Fishing independence by the looks of that. Always good to have another boat in the family though. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Looks like a well looked after set up. Sometimes you just have to buy yourself a decent xmas present, Santa wouldn't have ever been able to fit that one on the sleigh anyway 🤔😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs rod holders, electric's and safety gear. Theres also a fair bit of difference on how this engine looks at just 38hrs old, paint bubbling and a few patches of bare metal on the bottom end of it.
