Hi

Got a win/win for someone mechanically minded out there. I live down at Balmoral beach and have a 12ft tinnie which is on wheels, so just drag it 50 yards down to the beach, fold the wheels up and I'm fishing middle harbour and occasionally out the heads.

I have a 6hp Johnson on the boat which needs a service, it goes but has lost power and sometimes overheats. I think it just needs a service but not mechanically minded, phoning around all places seem to start at $250, if they'll look at it. (I also have a 9.8hp Mercury not running).

I'm sure there must be someone out there who is a mechanic (or serviced outboards before) and would like the use of a boat. If you give the engine a service and keep it in running order I'd be happy for you to use the boat whenever you wanted, just grab it out of the garage. It's also a car topper, so once I got to know you I'd be happy if you took it on holiday with you.

It’s a win/win deal, first come best dressed.

PS you don't need a boat licence to use the boat and Balmoral is in Sydney harbour
