Well at least they had the decency to let you know before you had driven the 100 miles.
Dont give up the shetlands are great boats, and from what I can see boats are not selling this time of year so you might just pick up a bargain.

Going to look at another one tomorrow, they are few and far between here in northern Ireland so they are holding their price, don't think I'll be satisfied until I have a 570 in the water, thanks Pete.

having had both and still having the 610 the wife likes the bigger cabin and i like the bigger engine but it is not as good as the 570 in the water unless it is full loaded. The big cabin makes it v light at the front and though a lot of fun it is better with as much weight up that end as you can.

Made an offer on the blackhawk, should know tonight if it's accepted or not, hopefully it will, it's my limit, plus I still have to buy lifejackets and a radio.

Just about to fill in my insurance form, it's asking for the maximum speed in knots, I have no idea, all I know it's a 90hp outboard, what should I put...?

Thanks Dave, I'll keep her slow enough with an odd blast to clear the carb.
