A bit bumby out there today

We took our new boat out today there was a bit of a swell which slowley got worst as the day went on, decided  go back to port early, however the fishing was okay using a selection of bait lug worm, quid and mackerel. They was a steady flow of mackerel on the feathers a couple of bull husses on small hook with quid and the a few doggys.
As requested I have attached some pictures of the boat and the best Bull Huss of the day.

it looked a little bumpy as we passed Colwyn Bay on the 55 earlier today, calmer off Penmaenmawr though.

nice to see the boat,
Do you stir your coffee with a spanner?

Ha ha only when I cannot find the spoon

Great stuff. You have got a lot of boat there

Any idea what she was used for before you owned her?

The last owner used it as a personal fishing boat for the last 6 years, it has been a work boat in the past on the pots.

Nice to see 'The boys are back on the water.'
That roomy cabin looks a good place to dodge the weather.
I like the all round tall hand rails.
I can't make out what the boat's made of, steel hull and timber f/glass superstructure?
Be handy if you can get a pic of the complete boat afloat.
How about the engine and type of keel?
How does she handle the swell?
If you got her from Whitehaven I imagine she can take the weather.
Haha,not being nosy,just very interested.

We took our old boat Susie to Whitehaven we got this one just round the corner in Conwy.

This one is fibire glass with a planning hull sits flat on the mud in the harbour the engine is aVolvo Pentab AD41, 200hp diesel. cruises at 15knts, she moves across the swell very good at anchor we were getting thrown about a bit hence we came home early. It is fully equipped including auto pilot, radar, chart plotter x 2, fish finder, DC radio etc.

Sounds like you will be having some happy days.
Handy it being fibreglass,easy to patch and add to.
If you leave it on the mud,do you have a small boat to get out to it?

The boat looks like a home from home with nice lines.
The cabin looks bigger than I thought.
A wide beam fibreglass 10ft rowing boat would take all your gubbins out to the boat.I've got one,I use a 6hp evinrude on it.Thinking of taking a set of wheels with it so it's easier to manouver.
It's being altered at the moment,the timber in it is soaked.I'm removing the timber and replacing it with polystyrene.
