Hello everyone
I am a newcomer to this community. As for sea fishing, I want to venture into it, but recent wear and tear on my boat has made me hesitate. I quickly made the necessary repars and added a coat of (link removed) to improve its durabilty in the water. However, I remain undecided. I would greatly appreciate your expert advice to help me make a deciision. 

Thank you in advance, and I look forward to your responses.

Hi there Roger Odin from Madagascar. I have removed your link for marine varnish just in case you aren't who you say you are as sometimes we get scammers and AI Bots posting to these forums. You aren't one of those by any chance?

Smudge the Ninja can appear from nowhere with his SPAM cleaner and completely obliterate those nasties with a click or two of his wee mouse. So can Uncle the ninja and a few others too BTW!

Yeah , and now that Ive re read the OP  just something about it sorta doesnt ring true. I havnt been paying a whole big lot of attention to the spammers  but I seem to recall another  someone from Madagascar here not so long ago .... same guy?
 What do they get out of it , apart from the opportunity to tout some product or service .
Huh , I see 10 million + aussies are without telecommunication coz some rascal has hacked Opus (and  no ! , I am not quietly sniggering away Wink at all , not even a wee bit)

No Smudge you really missed an opportunity there that Madagascar varnish is worth a shipload on the black market in Waiuku. You were sitting on a frick in goldmine. Ah well

Hi, and happy day to you! It is Matt McTavish here.

My employment is as a WordPress developer

A little more about myself

I am a really happy football player. My favourite football team is Barcalona.

I have a huge crush on Lionel Messi.

My interests include sleeping, eating, playing the guitar, and occasionally using the computer to play video games. I am not that good at fishing but I am very good at fish eating, hihihihihi.

His 'real name' is Matt Mctavish and he is from India with interests in SEO SMM & SEM which stand for Search Engine Optimisation, Social Media Marketing & Search Engine Marketing. His IP Address returns as Amsterdam. You need some new interests mattmct because you are no good at any of them. I think I will give myself the benefit of the doubt Big smile and nuke him.
