SHETLAND OWNERS ASSOCIATION

Hello,
After a small incident on the M25 yesterday I am now looking for a new trailer for my 498.
I intend to use it to launch and recover fairly frequently as I will keep the boat at home.
Any advice on a good one which will not cost me the earth would be appreciated.
I assume rollers are better ...

Can anybody recommend decent life jackets for me, the other half and two kids? oh, and a dog?!

No idea what's good and how much I should spend.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

Thank you very much for the replies..
It has a fish finder, bilge pump and radio.

The seller is a dealer so will be servicing the engine before I get it.

I will need to sort the other bits out including a backup engine.

I will ask the seller what he has maybe. What should I be looking for and how ...

Hello All,
I'm a complete novice to the boating world and am just about to buy a Shetland 498.(number 851) I am going to use it round the coast from Southwold for fishing mainly and generally hanging out with the kids.
It has a Mercury 60 2 stroke engine.
Is this boat suitable for this kind of thing ...

Thanks Sue,
I've paid up now.

I assume my access will be granted shortly?

Thanks

Daniel

Should I be able to open the buying guide? It says I don't have permission.

Thanks

Daniel
