Re: Is this a pearly miss
The Johnson has not been seen yet but falls into his price range . The important thing was not to have something too expensive to run. The boat came primed and ready to paint on outside with a gallon of two-pack blue to finish. Have arranged a panel beater in town with a spray booth to do the business in April and apart from some edge rubber and seats we will get him motoring for the season.
We both feel the boat has a little history attached and the real re-furb may be over a couple of seasons. The ply floor panels have black Tracmark which is in great condition, she deserves a good job in time.

Re: Is this a pearly miss
Hi, good to see you here, would be great to see you at a rally, we don't, as far as I am aware, have a Terrapin that is actually being 'campaigned' at events. It would be nice to see one on the water.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
Re: Is this a pearly miss
Hi Terrapin, just out of interest did you get yours from Great Yarmouth area? I had a look at one with a Gale 25 on the back last year which was also very complete and original but for personal reasons I could not go through with the purchase, yours does sound very familiar and if it is the same boat she was very nice and I am glad someone who will appreciate her bought it, Post up some pictures if you can? cheers, Si
