Starcoaster Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 H'okay, my head is about to explode lol! I am going to start a thread about my soon to be boat in the new to boating section with all of my random questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roggie Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Congrats and well done. This has been a very interesting thread and useful to a lot of people in the future I would think - every now and again ebay dishes up a good deal - considering it comes with a survey, safety cert and license that will save a good few bob - one wonders why the seller went to all the trouble of getting everything done - he certainly didn't get his money back - looks like a good dose of T-Cut would make it look brighter - or even a do it yourself re-paint. Hope it goes well. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusty450 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Arghhh I just puked again lol... The seller still hasn't got back to me (I am being impatient, he's probably in work, but until we have done the transaction I will still be a bit wobbly.) so I am really hoping he's not going to back out... I will leave some really shitey feedback if he does. I don't actually know what it's called right now, but I want to call it Wendy-May. So for my next question, how much does it cost to get someone to paint in simple font, a name on the front of the bow! I think it is calling Whispering (Whistling?) Gypsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcoaster Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Dusty! Do you know it? The seller has now told me the current name, I thought he said 'Wandering Gypsy' but the connection wasn't great so I may have mis-heard, but obviously it's the boat you are thinking of. What do you know about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssscrudddy Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Congratulations. I am so jealous. Looks like we joined this forum around the same time. Just when I thought I had got my money sorted out everything went boobies up. I now have no idea if I'm even going to get any of my money, let alone enough for a boat. But like I said, congratualtions, very pleased for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi- congratulations- really interesting thread with plenty of highs and lows- really glad you found a boat- we bought our first one 6 weeks ago,so can remember well the impatience of waiting for the phone to ring. Hope you get on her soon- and that the weather stays good for the maiden voyage- dont forget the champagne!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you know about it? Hi, sorry I don't know anything of it - I just emailed him for the survey when it was for sale as I am in the same position as you - desperate for a boat but not much cash. I think it is the same one. Looks like you got a good buy as with a few tweaks it will be lovely. I am still looking as not brave enough to bid on Ebay! I've really enjoyed your thread though - keep us updated with how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think it is calling Whispering (Whistling?) Gypsy Presumably this one (from Jim Shead): WHISTLING GYPSY Built by SPRINGER UK LTD - Length 9.14 metres (30 feet ) - Beam 2.07 metres (6 feet 9 inches ) - Draft 0.76 metres (2 feet 6 inches ) Metal hull, power of 999. Registered with British Waterways number 75846 as a Powered. Last registration recorded on 11-Apr-2010. With 999 hp it should move OK!!

Starcoaster Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Yep thats got to be it! Dusty I agree with you on being wary about ebay but being on this forum for less than a month now I have learnt about 1,000% more than I started off knowing, mainly that I still have about 10,000% more to learn, oh and also get a survey lol.
