New clogs and old 535.

[forbert]

Hi all,

just bought a 535 and trailer the other day, lovely boat!
At first we'll be trundling around with the 5 hp merc we still have, but I'm out looking for a 10 to 15 hp or a 40 to 60 hp.
Have had several boats, sailing and speed, though the last one was a metal barge with a 3 cylinder aircooled lister.
I loved that one, but my wife only loved it when I stopped the engine.
Boys are getting older, first one is leaving home next august, nr. 2 also goes on holidays on his own, so I started looking for a wee nice well built boat for the both of us, we saw a 535 and we both loved it! And now we got one.
The trailer will be towed by either a Defender 200 Tdi or a Subaru Legacy, so no probs there.
I'm sure we'll take the 535 to the UK one day, as we often holiday over there.
Might be to Devon/Cornwall, Suffolk/Norfolk, Wales or Scotland.
We live in the Netherlands, by the way.

As you can guess by the time of day the message is sent I'm a shift worker, gas industry.
Started out as fisherman, then offshore, now onshore. Except for when we're on the 535, of course.
I'm more than willing to pay my subscription fee, but I don't do my banking over the internet (bit off an old fart here), so I'll have to sort something out with the admin to get the money over there.

Enough for now, see/read you soon.

Just bought a 2nd hand remote controlled 9.9 two stroke twin Merc today, installed it, so the Torrey Canyon will be launched in the morrow.
