Well, just when I thought all the fun was lost and the swap chain wouldn’t complete, just like buses, 3 offers came along at once. One for a playboat, one was a substantial (and very tempting) cash offer but best of all one for a creek boat.
So guess what, the swap chain is now complete and I am now the proud owner of a Pyranha H3 245, yay! (insert cheers, applause and fireworks here).
Many thanks to the person who is now the proud owner of the Seaking and of course many thanks to everyone who has swapped, offered swaps and supported me during this mad and very enjoyable project. Who would have thought you can turn a simple silver paperclip into a creek boat. What started out as a bit of a laugh, gained momentum and turned out a great result.
What next I am thinking, well Air Traffic Control still wants an open boat so maybe a new swap chain is in order to get one hmmm!
Anyhow thanks again to all involved and see you on the water soon, to finish here is a picture of my new pride and joy.
Bye all.
