Will one carp see inside boat? I'm not sure (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kvetcher

'will one carp' is the definition.
(to kvetch is to complain or carp)

'see inside boat? i'm not sure' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'v' (short for 'vide', Latin meaning 'see elsewhere').
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'boat?' becomes 'ketch' (ketch is a type of sailing boat).
'i'm not sure' becomes 'er' (expression of hesitation).
'v' inserted into 'ketch' is 'kvetch'.
'kvetch'+'er'='KVETCHER'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
