Instead of fannying about with cars I have decided its time to stretch my sea legs.

Been years since anyone in the family has owned a boat or done a tour of service.

So E-bay it is

I tried a search, no results, I thought the search criteria may have been to awkward

http://search.ebay.co.uk/cheap-boats-that-wont-sink-in-scotland_W0QQfkrZ1QQfltZ9QQfromZR8

I then thought, well thats a bit to random so I came up with this

http://search.ebay.co.uk/cheap-boats-that-wont-sink-in-international-waters_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQfltZ9QQfromZR10QQsacatZ-1QQcatrefZC6QQsargnZ-1QQsaslcZ3QQsadisZ200QQfposZPostcodeQQga10244Z10425QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1

again nothing

then

then

then

http://search.ebay.co.uk/boats-that-may-indeed-sink-but-are-a-bargain_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQfromZR10QQfltZ9QQcatrefZC6QQsacatZ-1QQcatrefZC6QQsargnZ-1QQsaslcZ3QQsadisZ200QQfposZPostcodeQQga10244Z10425QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQcoactionZcompareQQcopagenumZ1QQcoentrypageZsearch

had to finally settle on this
