Lovely video. Some great footage and a cool sib! 👍👍👍👍

Cheers young man 😁 You might recognise an aerial view that you did during early lockdown 🤔 Hope both of you are well and looking forward to seeing where you go next 👍👍👍⛵️

@@123boat haha! I did recognise it and it’s a great shot you got there! All the best to you 👍

As always you always find the best days to be out 🙂

[@123boat]

Sometimes I have a dull day 🌧😢 Luckily because I’m a lazy self employed person I can go out on a whim 😁☀️

[@oldgittarist]

Lovely shots in a great location. Look forward to getting my sib afloat soon, (I'm on the Isle of Wight).

[@123boat]

Hi Mark. For March it was a perfect day. I’ve often popped over your way and will no doubt be over there soon on the sib. Hope you get out soon 👍

[@Cluelessseafishing]

you go from England to isle of wight on that boat ?

[@carperblue]

Great filming

[@123boat]

Thank you 👍

[@Budgee197]

Spectacular video my friend. 10/10👌 Be nice to hear your voice and see your face on screen as well. Something to think about for future videos mate. Just a brief hello and explain what gear your using and techniques you might use when fishing. Just an idea!🥴 Loving watching your channel develop and I can see your improving with every edit. Honestly hats off to you sir!!!!👍

[@123boat]

Thanks for the very kind comments Budgee. Just occasionally I talk 😳 but I’m not a natural in front of the camera and words have a habit of coming out back to front 😂 I’ll give it a go in another video. I was intending on going over to the IOW but as you can see in the video it was a tad choppy outside of the harbour and it would of been hell on my bad back. Always another day. Hope to see you out there some day 😁🐟🌊🚤

[@raykeogh1972]

Those are the day you want to be out on your honwave, cool video, I love mine not used it often enough to say how good it is yet but having the right engine makes a massive difference to.Thanks for sharing Ray K UK YNWA.

[@123boat]

Cheers Ray. Not long now till spring 🙄 It’s always worth making the effort to get out. I’m hopefully upgrading to a 20 ft Arvor with a pilot house next year but will not get rid of my Honwave as it’s so versatile and can take it anywhere..

[@raykeogh1972]

@@123boat your Honwave could be your TENDER for Arvor and fit on top of your pilot house. Lol , I plan going out in March next I’m saving for a DF20A Suzuki for when I go out to sea, sell my brand new Orca 9.9hp and getting a 6hp Suzuki as back up. Orca is way to heavy as a back up. Being STUPID I still thought I could lift weights with ease like when I was younger don’t know why but it came as a BIG shock that I couldn’t. Doh.

[@123boat]

@@raykeogh1972 The DF 20 will be plenty of power. Weight is always a factor with these sibs when launching and recovery. I’m no spring chicken anymore and have to be careful I don’t put my back out lifting the outboard and sib. I’ve got a t27 I’ll use as a tender and when I need it out and about I’ll tow it behind me. Won’t put it on the roof as it’ll bend my aerial 😂

[@raykeogh1972]

@@123boat The tender was a joke (very rare I am serious) I did a video on here I think? Hmm I fitted a hoist on the back of my MotorHome to lift the engine and boat, it’s very easy now. Looking forward to seeing your video’s in the new boat.

[@123boat]

@@raykeogh1972 I did realise it was a joke 😂 especially the t38 😳 Just had a look at your video. A fantastic idea to save your back from misery 👏👍 Hopefully getting the boat soon. Got a sea trial as soon as the current owner gets a new part for the fuel pump. Keep your eye out on my channel 👍

Lovely video & great music choices.

Cheers for the kind comments 👍

[@mimiselphani]

That is beautiful footage. I feel that the T38 is the best all round SIB currently manufactured. I really liked mine until the floor got a nasty puncture on a seam. I currently have a Bombard Aerotech which I feel out performs the T38 but is quite a bit smaller.

[@123boat]

Cheers Chris. Touch wood my seams are ok at the mo. Hope your keeping well ? Have you been out on the Bombard yet and have you any video footage?

[@mimiselphani]

@@123boat I’ve been out a few times last year, but I don’t have much footage. I regret that my drone doesn’t have a “follow me” mode - that would be very useful. Edit: just discovered that Litchi has been updated to work with the Mini 2 and adds a follow me mode. I shall have to get some footage next time I am out!

[@123boat]

@@mimiselphani That’s a handy update, be great to see the video. Any plans on where your going out this year ?

@@123boat we are moving back to Poole from Southampton at some point this year, so Poole and Christchurch will probably be the regular boating haunts.

I have 3m boat world sib it’s basically the cheap copy of you honwave! And with the 9.9 tohatsu im only getting 17mph any idea why?

[@123boat]

Good morning Ryan. My Yamaha 9.9hp 2 stroke has been upgraded to 15hp so explains why I get more mph. My top speed was 25mph which is more than enough for a 3.8m sib. Cruising at 15 mph is just right for me. If you haven’t already tried it, get a tiller extension and get your weight forward to the bow. Also have a play with the outboard trim settings. Hope this helps 👍

[@MotorFixDean]

​@@123boat how did you upgrade to 15 ?

[@123boat]

@@MotorFixDean Easy, just bigger Reed valves

[@MotorFixDean]

@@123boat any ideas if i can do the same with a johnson 9.9 2006 ?

Hi Ryan. The 9hp is upgraded to 15hp with wider Reed valves and goes up to about 25mph 👍
