I am currently designing the caravanning decking. Great space for fishing at the mo but will need movable seating/cushions for the gin and tonics for this Summer. I'll obviously do it all on the cheap (I am like that). T Geoff and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The Rodman is a proper boat ...............

The photo is of the interior, I guess the factory fit. Not bad but can be improved a lot. JonC, Andy135 and Saintly Fish 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has enough freeboard without an "upstairs" although spotting the marlin would be fun. Had a holiday in San Miguel recently great place. Saw the whales and dolphins. Very cool.

That is surprisingly close to @Saintly Fish's interior, only his is rhubarb and custard stripes. I might have knicked the photo from "saintly". Mine is the same but the material on the seats is a little less well presented. I'll give them a refurb in the Spring. At the mo, I am going over all the mechanics and electronics although it seems ok save for a patch of work on the D4 heat exchanger that my Marine Engineer (Tom) found when doing the pre-purchase inspection. I am going to get the expert to re-condition that little area so that I have the engine in a known condition as it hasn't got proper service records. I always keep an in-depth record for my own peace of mind and the next owner's pleasure. Saintly Fish and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely hard to get hold of sometimes but when your in trouble and you can’t fix it yourself, he’s the guy to go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
