My first boat in recent times is a 17ft wilson flyer.
I had one of these over 20nyears ago and was happy with it.
I got the current one from Ebay. Unseen.
The boats fine but it came with a 70 hp jonson.
It's been a total pain.
I stuck the boat in Troon marina at a cost of 1400 quid and it hasn't moved all year.
I need to get it out in a few weeks but the trailer it came with is goosed.
So. I have an alternate trailer that might do.
I will need to ask troon marina to hip tow the boat round to the slip and help get it on the trailer.
I dont know if it will fit but the trailer is adjustable.
So mayby take a day or two to work it all out
Hope it all works out.
