Bought a little pebble coble a month ago as a reck. Me and the bairn done it up a couple of hours each night. Just made it up as I went along as iv never had a boat before. Not the best boat but it will do haha.

 

First trip out today 34 mackral, 1 pollock and 2 good cod.

 

Pics to follow when my mate puts them on.

Good sturdy little boats Cobles, you might want to put some guide bars on the trailer makes launching and trailering a hell of a lot easier.

Those are not guide bars, in any type of a swell they will be useless and could damage the boat.

All you need is bars to guide the boat onto the trailor, any cross wind or strong tide combined with a swell can make trailering a difficult job. Idealy you need two sets one at the end of the trailer the same width as the widest part of the boat and another set near the front the same width apart as the part of the boat that sits there.

 

It is best if you get them made to make them on brackets that can be bolted to the trailer, as the trailer is glavanised and you will not get a strong enough weld on the galv. Bolting them also gives you the option of moving them if they do not suit.
