Free BOB (Bug Out Boat)

[bigpaul]

sorry, missed that bit, i thought it was wooden, look for any holes or bits that might need patching, if none then your probably ok......says he, the original landlubber!

The worrying thing is that the last time I flew/rode/drove/piloted/captained a boat I nearly sank the fucking thing. Bloody speedboats, give me a 3 man jet-ski any day.


I didn't realise that boats pretty much shrank after being out of the water for a while! Wasn't until my mate explained that's what the bilge pump is used for it made sense. I always thought it was some sort of maritime sex toy

yeah, they dry out and the timbers shrink which may make them leak, so they have to be wetted for a while to allow the timbers to swell again thus making them watertight......i dont know if the same applies to fibreglass...probably not.
