Hylander Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well we have a new home thanks to Broads.net , thought we would be homeless at one point. We will have to start our threads again. There were quite a few of us on the old Bounty Forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hello Hylander,It is good that these old forums that have lost their homes can be accomodated.Currently there is still a Birchwood Forum.Help and advice from a range of differing owners on a type of boat has got to be good news for everyone within that group.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Anything that can be retrieved would be very handy. There was quite a bit of useful information on there including projects that Bounty owners had completed and wanted to share. Thank you for all you are doing.

CaptainJoshie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hi Very glad to see we have a new home . I do hope you can get some of the info back, especially the thread by 'Biting Midge' on the hydraulic linkage fix he did. I was going to have a go at our linkages, but without the photo's he kindly posted it will make the job much more of a challenge. I notice you can still get on the original website at http://www.bountyboats.co.uk/index.html perhaps some of the info could be copied there?? Anyway great to still have a site to go to. John.

Hylander Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Jonzo just out of interest , have you had any responses to the email you sent out? I was wondering if Bightingmidge had responded? He really did contribute to the site. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 That is a shame - may be he is somewhere where he cannot get a signal to use his laptop or mobile. I am sure if he gets the email he will reply. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaters Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks for your efforts Jonzo,as said there was some threads and posters on the old forum.Keep up the good work Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staploe Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi we have just found this. Not frequent posters on old Bounty Boat site but were members, we have Bounty 37- Kingfisher. Did not know old site had closed went there to look for advice on fitting a bow thruster. Will old Bounty site close now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaters Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi Staploe,welcome .There were many threads on Bountys .A member of the old site had one fitted to a Bounty 37 I will see if he has some details if you get back on here.Where do you do your boating? We are on the Northern Broads and have a Bounty 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 We have had a bow thruster fittied to our Bounty 30 but that was done by Moonfleet on the Norfolk Broads. You are right there were quite detailed photos on the site of fitting (if my memory serves me right) a Vectis bow thruster. I am hoping that some of the old gang will dig out a lot of their info and put it on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitingmidge Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi All, and thanks Jonzo for keeping some of the old information alive! I am glad to be "back", still in France for a week or three having spent the last four months on the Canal de Vosges, and the Saone and Doubs Rivers respectivly. Currently in my home port of Lagarde in Moselle, continuing to sort some bits and pieces, and yes, the transmission is still the subject of some curiosity, so when the old data is accessible I'll add to it! For as long as I've been on the internet, I've been signing my posts "cheers" but if I do that here, a little animated emoticon pops up! , Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitingmidge Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thanks for the welcome, I am still stooging around in France, cleaning up - err.. pulling the motor and drive out of the Boat, then cleaning up. Hopefully I'll get a chance to pop my head in more often in a month or so when normal transmission returns! , Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
