I know this will not appeal to everyone, but I for one am fascinated by it. I think I also know the ones that would sell there soul for it.

I love it ... a real work of art.

I would put an offer in but for the smell of his pipe and the CO from that water heater.

Go on Dave you know you want to!

Looks like great nostalgic fun. The gear stick looked like a broomstick in a bucket of pebbles and I'd like to have heard the engine when he changed gear. I'd have it, always wanted a log burner in a van

All gearboxes used to be like that Jim. Even when new. Old school drivers and all that stuff .

 

[PaulyP]

Awesome.

That would turn a few heads.

I remember taking my HGV3 test in an old 3tonner with no syncromesh, a 3ft long gear stick; wiggle it, do a little Irish jig on the clutch and and accelerator and then have a good guess as to where it should go next

No, no, I want em both. I would love the lantern top, just so I know I have it. Its a collector, hoarder thing. Thankfully there is no cure

Am shocked and stunned JJ. I was under the impression you would have been trying to find a buyer for your soul this morning. Just goes to show what a poor judge of character I am .

If you must have both then go for it Dave -Plenty of Febreeze will help rid of pipe tab smell

[Janine]

I want it and I want it NOW!

 

[Puddleduck]

Love the look of it but being practical wouldn't want to own it. Too big and difficult to drive very far and parking would be a nightmare........

 

[Mel]

I want it and I want it NOW!

Dont we all my dear dont we all

Oh, totally impractical but wow ... would love it...... so romantic .. sigh.

 

[Mel]

Ideal to spend the winters away just do a few km's every day or every few weeks. Not built for speed. Just built to relax.
and can be repaired anywhere no computer needed.

[Jaws]

Not for me .. Very twee but not something that appeals
I guess I have little romance in my soul !

 

[scotjimland]

Hi Jim, The Linder was a 14 ft and I would still have it, but I started towing a car so it was impossible with the boat. The Linder is an ideal small fishing boat as its light and very strong. I have fished some rough weather from that thing, not that I am that foolhardy now. I now carry a 12 ft inflatable with a Suzuki outboard. I do have a 15ft Island Plastics with pram cuddy and 25HP and 4HP Evinrudes on a trailer with fish finder and all the gear for sale cheap, if your interested. It just needs a good cleaning up. I almost forgot I had that IP, must do a stocktake .

 

[Hollyberry]

It's beautiful. Dashboard looks more like an office desk.
But it'd take a lot of Febreeze to get rid of the pipe smoke smell.

thanks Dave...

I was considering another inflatable, we had a 10 ft Yamaha with outboard, but sold it when we gave up fulltiming, also had a 16ft Orkney Longliner when we lived in Scotland.. also sold, but after reading about the Fisherman 440 Linder, ... light , strong, built in buoyancy, low maintenance, ideal for where we live and for towing.. I really want one .

The Linder is as good a small boat as you will get. The Americans call it a John I believe. It will go up on the plane with a small outboard and is vertualy indestructible. Its also easy to launch by one man and it can be dragged across fields and rough ground because of its light weight. I bought the one I had from someone on ebay and when I sold it I lost nothing during my ownership. There are a few alloy boats on ebay at the moment, but no Linders.
