I am using a meagher 19ft and could not be happier with it. It is sturdy, drifts slow and is great in a wave.Also have a 10hp honda 4 stroke which I find a bit on the heavy side. But that is a general drawback of 4 strokes. Done deal is as good as anywhere to start.

A new meagher boat would run you about €3500+. Engine 10hp Roughly 2500 new give or take

I too have a Meagher 19' lake boat and I'm delighted with it. It has a thicker hull than most of the competition including Burke boats.

It took me a while but I managed to get a 15HP Yamaha two stroke which is light enough to lift by yourself. It cost me €1,300 second hand. I also bought an electric engine for €230 and battery €85 and it's great for steering on the drift or whilst you are fishing for rising fish on the dry.

John Meagher is based in Borrisakane in Tipperary. He is a gentleman to deal with.

Regards,

Ray.

Hi mate, Iv got a Sheelin 19' that is for sale it is in A1 condition and you would be welcome to try her on lough Melvin or Gill before buying.
The only reason I have this one for sale is my trailer went t!ts up and the new trailer I bought had to be sold with its boat. so now Iv 2 boats. if pushed I could supply a 10hp motor but would like to keep it as my spare. you can also have a trailer but no guarantee with that.
Any questions ask away.
