Who wants to borrow the AFO Boat?

[Lozzel]

Elli , I'll bring the stuff for the AFO boat to the charter on Sunday.

Sounds good Loz. Anyone else that's got stuff and is coming to the charter - this might be a good opportunity to clear some space in your shed, cupboard or car boot.

Feral or I will post up a thread discussing the rules and what exactly is on offer (as far as what it will be decked out with) after some things have been sorted out.

Currently it is not all together.

[ellicat]

OK - It's ready for anyone to use that wants to.

Obviously it'd be good if it didn't get flogged or destroyed by some twit so a couple of rules are appropriate.

To qualify to borrow it you need to have been a member for 3 months and have 100 posts (or close) with good behaviour.

Need to send me a pm 2 days or more before you want it.

There are some inflatable roof racks available courtesy of namyau, but I'm not sure if the boat will be too heavy for them or not. So you're welcome to try them or bring a trailer or ute.

Might be good for someone to take out to the dams (upcoming AFO camp for example).

Thanks to the guys that contributed.

Thought with the influx of new members of late and with the school holidays around the corner this thread could be worth being brought back to peoples attention.

With the constant calls I've been getting for the AFO boat, I'm sad to say it won't be available for a coupla weeks while I take a break

[Feral]

Is that sarcasm, or has someone actually borrowed the boat?

[maxi]

where are ya goin on your break elli ???

[Terry H]

I reckon Maxi has bought the AFO Boat and is doing it up!! :laugh: wouldn't surprise me either :laugh:

Well, after a fairly long period of having it up for grabs and only a handful of enquiries with no eventual lending out of the AFO Boat, the time has come for me to relinquish possession. (Also I'm doing a yard refurb and want the space in my shed back).

So Feral do you want it back ? If not and with the little interest it's received I suggest we give it to AFO to auction on ebay, or maybe even auction it here, and put the proceeds back into AFO.

What say ye ?

Any other suggestions ?

Small artificial reef perhaps ?

PS Ray I still have your MinnKota in the garage too.

[Travis]

Good idea mate

[Feral]

Mate, no I dont want her back. Get rid of her how you like, Ebay or the dump - whatever.

[shortie]

i need a sand pit for the boy

[Travis]

Bon fire... pin trip??? :laugh:

[Feral]

Be perfect for that Shortie. Just drill some holes before you fill it up with sand.

[rayke1938]

Being the original owner who gave it to Feral and as noone on the site appears interested i say ebay or weekend shopper its too good to use as a sand pit. Would also be great for someone to use as a tender for a larger boat.

Cheers

Ray

[natang]

do you have any pics of her? Also what were the measurements of it again?

[rayke1938]

There is a link to a photo in the first post on page 1.

Also there is a guy with a similar size one on NPD and it flys with one up and a 28lb leccy on it.

Cheers

Ray
