Hi guys. I have been lurking a while and decided to join up as I am probably going to need some good advice.
I had a aluminium dingy with a 25hp Merc but wanted something a bit bigger. A boat I could stand up in and stretch the legs, and liking old things and wooden things I decided to sell the tiny and buy a real boat.
The best part is you can sell a 13' tiny a but a 16' wooden boat for the same money.
Here are a few pic's of her. Her name is Tina-Marie, built in 1959 and still on her original trailer. She came with no engine but I have bought a 75hp Merc for her which puts the price even with the tiny I sold.
She has come with a small fish finder and an electric winch for the anchor. A canvas top with full side curtains.

Work started. I plan on rebuilding the seating and bins. Redoing the varnish and a refit of the gauges and switches.
