I BOUGHT A £500 BOAT OFF FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE!!

[@mike130557]

I love the enthusiasm you guy have with a cheap little bargain boat! It just shows that you don’t need to spend a fortune to have fun on the water!

[@ThomasDoubting5]

The open sea is looking suspiciously like a canal, very cool though.

[@TheBattersby]

😂😂 very suspicious

[@SuperEjep]

A little Picton Domino. I had one as my first boat 40 years ago. Great little boat. Have a Kingfisher now with the aft cabin.

Hat made him look like a Germqn U-Boat Captain

[@Maelstrom-Sup-Kayak-Boat-Store]

That's cheap fun on the water. Great video.

[@lys823]

Boat looks like a picton domino. I had one that I used for sea fishing. I raised the transom to take a long shaft motor and took the bulkhead out to make it more comfortable while fishing at anchor

[@senianns9522]

There's some great deals on boats at present! I bought a power boat 3+ years ago here in Thailand. Everyone I knew said I was crazy! I spent a bit on it for sure but the rewards of going out to the islands with some nice 'Thai crew' ladies and partying are well worth it! You'll soon learn all about the boat! Don't worry! I trailer it to the sea each time I go out and it is stored on a really good boatyard here! Good luck!

[@senianns9522]

My boat is a 6.8m Regal Ventura with a 5.7 V* Mercruiser inboard! *Eats Benzine by the way!

[@badgersalesman5595]

That boats mint with a bit of TLC for a days fishing on the beer with the lads.

[@Daniel-v8w5b]

Very cool. A boat is such freedom. Yo u can have micro Hollidays all the time

[@TheBattersby]

Yes 100% they’re class

[@mattschannel1502]

It's normal to have a bit of water in the hull as rain will find its way In wouldn't worry to much but probably worth pulling her out at some stage to inspect the hull for any cracks etc and just to see overall condition! Looks great though bit of a bargain that

[@senianns9522]

Buy a cheap 12V bilge pump. One that is automatic. As the float rises it pumps overboard, as the water lowers the pumps stops! Good luck!

[@grahamkelly8662]

A neighbour bought 1 similar last summer. He was flooring it along canal and got told off so many times. He sold it shortly after he bought it but he paid £1000 ish

[@lazarus1973dayz]

[@MarkTurner-u8s]

[@PresidentSquigglyMiggly]

[@david-hf3dk]

Cheaper than a boating holiday.

[@andrewbounds8672]

If you on a canal it is not crap it is important wildlife

[@jasondyer811]

Have fun lads 😁😁👍👍

[@andy816896]

How much was the licence?

[@TheBattersby]

I think it’ll be around £700 for the year

[@Maelstrom-Sup-Kayak-Boat-Store]

Licences vary depending on the size and type of craft..We storage our boats out of the water and use them 30 days of the year for £140.

[@senianns9522]

@@Maelstrom-Sup-Kayak-Boat-Store Smart move as you're never going to be on a little backwater canal for days on end in a boat that size!

[@stevencombe1053]

Looks like a fame domino I had one
