Maverick Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I've always loved the Aquadors but the 28 although very well built and for its size has copious amounts of internal space is pretty much useless for fishing as the cockpit space is tiny. If you were specifically looking for one of those that is a goodun Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Big day for the England team tomorrow, they have a very good score to defend but it’s going to be hard to take 9 wickets in a days play. A very good performance on Indian soil so far for the tourists. Geoff and Maverick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked at one and discounted it for our own needs because of that. However, if @Gordmacisnt a fishing nut like most of us then it could be perfect for his needs. Especially when the bifold doors are opened right up, it really does then bring the outside inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordmac Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks. I think the BT 25 would be too small for me, the 27 I had a look at and I wouldn't want a smaller one as the cabin and wheelhouse would be too cramped. I think that one has been advertised for a while, brokers don't seem to remove ads when a boat sells! Big semi displacement boats like the Aquabell tend to use a lot of fuel for not a lot of speed. Far too much wood in that one, not a fan of wood in boats. The Rodman is on my interesting list, a bit over budget but ono, been advertised for a while. Would like a look at it. The Starfisher has twin 150hp, how would that compare to your single 260hp? My thinking was not that much more than the twin 120s in my previous boat and it would maybe do 17kn flat out. I quite like the Aquador 28C, would like a look at one. Looked at a 25C which was a bit cramped. That one has been advertised for a very long time, I suspect it has sold as it doesn't seem to be on the brokerage. Thanks for the suggestions.

Jon, I enjoyed PLAYING cricket in junior school, but when they changed from using tennis ball to those solid lumps I discovered that it hurt if the ball hit you. Cricket then became a no no for me. WATCHING cricket has never been of any interest to me - especially test matches that seem to drag on forever. I must admit that the current trend of fixed over cricket is less boring, but I am waiting for a ONE over series to be introduced. Geoff.

Are you mad? Of course it’s ok for fishing. Why would it not be, have you not seen the rod holders on it? It has a big deck for fishing, and a door to hide behind when it gets cold and nasty. It also has cushions. Dicky and Geoff 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ‘Ok’ for fishing, but you could fish off anything that floats. It’s not a fishing boat, it’s not suited to uk style fishing, Take it down to the warmer climates south west of Spain for some sport fishing.

I’m sorry but I do believe you are talking out of your arse. It may not be suitable for where you fish, but it’s absolutely fine for where I fish or I’m sure in Scotland where Gordon fishes.

Ok, that’s obviously why we see so many people using them for angling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
