saxplayer Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi all. Not new to the waterways, i was brought up alongside them in Cannock and lived at Norton Canes on my boat for twelve years. Now in plymouth and looking to get back to the system, when time and money allows. Hope to meet some nice people on here. shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty's Retreat Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Hi Shaun. Fellow Stag owner, what a small world!! I'm fairly new to this as well. Bet you will have the first narrowboat with a 3.9 litre V8. John (KOY 23) Edited September 18, 2012 by Ratty's Retreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxplayer Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi Tim I nearly swopped the Tr8 for a riley Pathfinder early in the year. But the girl friend got in the way! this is my main "fun car" As far as boats go ive had a large variety mostly power boats. Yachts dont cut it with me, i think that is because i have spent so much time at sea wallowing around for a breeze is not my cup of tea. At the moment i have a 7m crompton rib with Twin 100hp Yamaha on the back. Great fun. Max 44knts. If you down this way let me know if you fancy a blast ! shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
