A life on the ocean wave
Grandad June 3rd, 2008
Do you want a cabin cruiser?
Free?
It’s yours.
There are one or two little conditions, unfortunately.
You have to collect it yourself at your own expense. It’s in the Phoenix Park. But the boat is free.
You have to have it moved very quickly. Yesterday or sooner. But if you can arrange that, you can have it.
It needs a little bit of T.L.C. But it’s worth it considering you get it for nothing.
-oOo-
This is a serious appeal, as it would be a terrible shame to see it end up in a skip.
You can see more about it on Peter Donegan’s site.
I would grab it for myself, but the tractor is booked for a bit of slurry spreading. I always fancied a boat on the Shannon.

Malcolm keeps telling me his dream is to retire on a houseboat, wonder if he wants to collect it…as long as he keeps the colour I might say yes LOL
You’d certainly be noticed! Looks like a Barbie boat or something from Penelope Pitstop! It would make a perfect addition to a children’s playground!
Natalie – Now is his chance. This fine craft is there for the taking – literally! All he need do is arrange transportation and set aside a few bob for refurbishment. I would hate to see such a fine craft destroyed.
Baino – You are spot on. It would be great if some business could finance bringing it to a playground somewhere!
I was looking for a place to stay. I just have to find somewhere to put it.
I like big boats and I cannot lie
You other bruthas can’t deny
When a boat sails in with such itty bitty grace
And its pink paint in my face…
And i fucking love Rosie and Jim, cheers for the clip.
While i’m here and being annoying, I’d love it if you would visit my blog and read my latest post. As someone who’s just knocked out a book, I’d love to know what your thoughts on literary self-consciousness are.
Thank you, shameless self-promotion over.
You never said it was PINK I went out to get it and it’s PINK!
Jefferson – The Grand Canal?
Andrew – Literary self-consciousness? Ouch!
Roy – I presume you have a color monitor? Did you see the photographs? Did I need to say it was pink? You can always buy a tin of paint?
thats the coolest boat ever. i’ll put it in my garden and live in it!
Johnie – Why don’t you?
ooo-ooooohhh! I love that boat! I hope it finds a happy home!
how quick does this need to be moved and how hard is it going to be to move?? pm if needed.
im still thinking this is a wind up btw:)
right, just had a look into it, and realised how big the boat is and its quite a job to move it. so I think im out, as the only bloke who could move it for me is not around for another month. but this boat shouldnt be skipped some-one must want it.
Johnny,
easier than you think… [then again i would say that?!!] not a wind up this is serious sh eye t bosco and its about to hit the fan…

[...] After Bloom Peter was faced with the dilemma of what to do with an 11 meter 3 tier Pink Boat? Could he give it away or would it have to end up in a skip. [...]
