Boat finally acquired
After lots of looking & searching, I've finally acquired my first 'proper' boat

Re: Boat finally acquired
Welcome. I used to have a 14' "bote" and a 9.8 Tohatsu, I loved it, the handling took some getting used to! it has 3 hull chines including the Keel - it tracked so well it was weird in a swell, took a while for me to trust it and stick to my line. If I tried to correct it would slew around and almost capsize!! Once used to that I would take it anywhere and often fished 3 up off Arbroath in the North Sea. Loch Lomond was great too, will see if I can find pics of my setup.
Found one, Milarrochy Bay Camping and Caravan site - has it's own Slip and Jetty.

Why am I here - I should be in my boat fishing!!
