Dont mess with the FOOLer when he starts talking like that.

I got a PM from him on a tuesday:

"Loz, stop fkin about and Buy the P21"

wedenesday @ 3pm I had a £4000 deposit on one.

He knows his stuff.........many many many many years of experience.

+plus, come the summer; if us SX boyz arent happy with our boats, we can take a trip down the thames and duff-up the ginger tossppot!

stil,aint got a name for mine though!

should also mention one other point.

Jon did give me the best ever pievce of advise.

always buy new (or as close as you can afford to). Its a much nicer experience and i'm quite surewill save lots of frustration on the few sunny days we get on the blackwater when old toot keeps fkin-up.

thats why i havent got an engine yet!

OK. How about you choose the best 10 and set up a poll then we can all vote. Go on - you know it makes sense.
