If you've never considered or at least looked into the idea of a personal boat for fishing, you may want to. We all know about 'traditional' boats and how they can be used for fishing, but personal boats are many something that anglers don't even consider. A 'personal boat' is simply a small, portable boat, such as a personal pontoon boat or inflatable kayak. Not the kind of inflatable kayak that you see at the local pool but rather a quality inflatable kayak. These types of boats are many times quite affordable and most certainly very convenient when it comes to the act of fishing. Which type you choose is up to personal preference, as both types of boats, the kayak and pontoon, perform quite...

There's bad news for pleasure boaters in the UK as the Government makes known its verdict on Red Diesel's future. But first... What is Red Diesel? Up until now, UK leisure boaters have been able to fuel their boats with red diesel which is subject to lower VAT. Coloured with red dye to distinguish it from the more expensive variety, red diesel is typically available for around 40p per litre, less than half the national average for diesel on the forecourt. The issue. In recent years, permission to use red diesel became subject not only to national approval, but also the EU's. The reason is down to EU policies that bring into line taxes on fuels and energy, and the fact that consent to use red diesel...

For the moment we can mostly forget the days when five buyers were all clamoring for our house and we chose the ones with the cutest kid. Nowadays, if a buyer presents itself (and its offer!) we are quaking in our boots wondering if we even dare to counter-offer to get the deal without rocking the boat! Of course, the realtor will do all this nerve-wracking stuff for us, and he will have more 'inside information' to go one, but we are still involved as the buck stops with us! Several key points are relevant in all negotiations. Very briefly these are: state of the market; extras involved (if any); buyer's financing; negotiating skills; who has the advantage? Well, in the first case, we all know the...

In most state's, you purchase title insurance to ensure you are not also buying the responsibility for earlier liens against the property. In a finite few states, you pay to have an abstract search to do the same. The one thing most buyers of homes for sale never think of or do is to check the insurance claims history of potential homes for sale. This could be a crucial mistake. Insurance companies share information with each other. They use the Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE), which is a huge database of information. CLUE holds the dates, type of loss, and amount paid on claims to previous owners of your potential homes for sale for the past five years. Information contained in CLUE...

Solar power is quickly becoming a suitable renewable source of energy which many people are adopting. Lots of homes and businesses all over the country already have solar panels. Many people think that solar power is a very new invention, however actually it has been around for over 100 years! It's amazing that it's taken so long to catch on. It was developed by a Russian scientist way back in 1838, he used this to create a solar powered boat. Solar engines were developed further, however with the advent of the internal combustion engine people were less impressed with a solar boat. A boat could get more power from fossil fuel, rather than solar power. Solar powered boats didn't really do much until...

One situation which has the potential to rapidly diminish profit is with an investment property which suffers from poor demand for rental or re-sale (at the desired value). In the instance of an investment property remaining untenanted, the investor would have to subsidise the mortgage payments, bills, etc. until a time where the property would be let and provide a rental income, or the property is sold. When investors experience a rental void period or insufficient demand for re-sale, the tendency is to drop the rental or sale price. This will further minimise profit and confidence in acquiring future investment properties. How can property investment profit be maximised? By giving due...

During a recent survey on a large steel yacht, the client elected to do the sea trial himself and my presence was not required. I joined the ship at the ship lift ready for the lift and subsequent underwater inspection. Whilst waiting, I enquired how the sea trial had gone. "Great" said my client, "except we had a bit of a fright when one of the rigging bottlescrews snapped..." To say my hair stood on end was somewhat of an understatement. "What happened? What did you do?" says I, "Oh well, we had a spare on board and fitted another one on...no sweat!" As you can imagine my attention was well and truly fixed upon the rest of these fittings during the subsequent inspection, especially when the...

You may be a little bit dismayed, however by the amount of money it takes to buy a boat in the first place. Maintenance and docking fees do add up, but for most people, the main stumbling block in buying a boat is getting the capital in the first place. One thing that many people are unaware of, however, is the fact that boats can be acquired and acquired quite cheaply if you take a look at places that will sell these boats. The first thing that you need to be aware of is that getting a boat does not mean that it has been refurbished or in some other way redone. The only thing...
