An advert I don't understand.

[Robbo]

I would just be wary of any seller who stated in his advert that I didn't need a survey. Surely that would be up to me?

And at that age you'll need one for insurance purposes.

Reasons for selling = priorities have changed with new familty addition. Later on "will consider swap or PX".

 

Boat has been "overengineered". Just like the swan-neck then.

I guess this means that he and his wife are expecting or have just had a baby, so they need more living space, so the part exchange would be for a bigger boat.

 

Not sure what you mean about the swan neck - it is only distantly visible in the photo, so it's hard to tell if it is over-engineered or not.

 

This does look like a neat little craft, though it is a pity that there are not more pictures of its interior.

He's talking about the boat that was the original subject of the thread, not the (allegedly?) Teddesley GRP topped one added to the thread more recently, I think.

Thanks. Sorry for misunderstanding.

Which makes me wonder: is there any reason, apart from aesthetic, for the swan neck being swan-neck-shaped rather than just vertical? is it a question perhaps of balancing its weight?

Nice cool box in that second advert. Good use of two pictures.

Some real (not) bargains in here.

I have reported several of them, and started a thread in their boats section in the hope no one gets caught out.

Shame as it affects the genuine advertisers.

Every time you click on the anode picture a little bit degrades off each one.
