As both my grandpa and I live on the water a few houses apart, we have quite a few boats lying around.

As most have seen in the recent pics, I have a 28 ft ODay sailboat, 10hp inboard diesel, does approx 8knots, with a 10 ft inflatable tender, 9.9 hp Mariner 2stroke Outboard. Top speed 25 knots.

22 ft Wellcraft Vstep cuddy cabin. A small fishing boat with a 150 gallon live well, small toilet and cabin, inboard 350ci Mercruiser. Top speed approx 40 knots.

26 ft wellcraft speedboat, kitchen, vberth twin 454 mercs. top speed 75+ knots

12 foot Sunfish sailboat

2 kayaks, 3 jet skis, and a rowboat or two.

I'll take pics of the rest of them ASAP. Jeez I'm glad we live on the water......

Not my own but feels a lot like that. I'm one of the instructors of the Ouddorp Lifeguards RWC (http://www.ouddorpsereddingsbrigade.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=53).

Here are some of my picture's, from our little fishing boat, Forty Winks (Hardy 24 Fisher), the predecessor (So to speak) of Mary Elizabeth. I have mixed emotions on the subject, its a very long story too, main reason is that dad says she's too slow. and Thus dad bought Forty Winks for her speed really/Deck Space.

Some picture's from the lock out.

Once we were out off Fleetwood Channel...

Some crabs decided to try and steal our bait, but, we caught one red handed!

A very different visitor to Wyre, this Anchor Handling Vessel is owned by a Norwegian company, but operates off India. We still don't know why she was there, very strange indeed.

One of our local Trawlers, we waited to let her pass.

I always wanted to know how many personal vessels equal one large vessel in a commercial lock.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #216 on:** May 23, 2009, 02:35:34 »

maybe, we've taken it for allot of trial runs upriver there arent many yellow hulled yachts many ferries but most yachts are blue black or white.

I was on the water last weekend on a 14 ft inflatable Zodiak with a 40 hp engine overpowered if you ask me

but I was driving around for an hour with my dad and friends we were in a busy channel racing around and after an hour and a half I pull innto a fuel dock and the engine stalled and wouldnt start

we lucked out on that one

you lucky guys, my parents have yet to get out boat summerized, she sits dormant in the yard all covered up, still with tape over her exhaust, battery unpluged just waiting to spring to life $:-\$

Minime · « **Reply #222 on:** May 29, 2009, 14:11:18 »

we're probably going to take our wooden boat up in our boathouse and wash some of the dirt off soon, then it should go some faster than it does now.

TerryRussell · « **Reply #223 on:** May 29, 2009, 17:36:34 »

It's nice weather here, and I was going to go out this weekend.

But the new carburetor and thermostat I've been waiting for (port-side engine) has just turned up. So I'm going to spend some time fitting that and tuning it up.

I think it should add about 30% more thrust to that engine (it's been lower than it should be ever since I bought the boat).

thom301 · « **Reply #224 on:** May 29, 2009, 17:50:07 »

That,s a nice boat

How fast can it go??
