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).

A man after my wife’s own heart! 
what colour are you interior furnishings? Has the Mrs had a hand in the nest making?

The Rodman is a proper boat ............... I have done a lot of game fishing off Rodmans, especially in the Azores, Cape Verde, and Madeira ..............

Psst ....... it needs a fly bridge !

The girlfriend is actively involved and very keen on the boat. The interior isn't that fantastic at the moment and also needs some inventiveness. The photo is of the interior, I guess the factory fit. Not bad but can be improved a lot.

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.

Looks good. 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.

It absolutely is. I won't let anyone else near my boats. Nuff said.

Agreed. He is a good chap. 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.
