Modified Shetland 570
 
This is a modified Shetland 570, a standard boat with a fly bridge. This
boat was rebuilt by by an expert at GRP work. The
standard of build is of the highest quality. The bulkhead was pushed forward 23", and the
topsides reduced to make more room in the cockpit for angling, then a Fly Bridge
was built from scratch and fitted. Because he could purchase the boat
without getting too concerned about minor problems he bought the boat very
cheap. The extra money left over in his budget from his previous boat enabled
him to buy a new 80hp 4
stroke Yamaha!! That is a great small boat angling machine. The proportions are
fantastic, has enough cabin but maximised the deck space, the business end
of the boat, for fishing in comfort. Tommo boated Cod to 33lb and Blonde Ray
to over 36lb and that goes to prove it does what he built her for!!
