Interesting with regards the engines performance. If thats the case as you say are both engines the same CC. whats the difference between a 2 stroke 75 and 4 stroke 75 other than their combustion cycle. Is the torque kicking in at different spots etc.

[Jono Garton]

I Think the cc will be different but both 75hp, the 2 strokes running a 18pitch stainless and the four stroke a 17 pitch ally.

Nice pics , and a good trip .
It was lovely out there yesterday
ended up cruising 60 miles of the cornish coast .

Interesting on the motors being the same performance , I had a choice of a 2 or 4 stroke on the same boat buying and went for the 4 but often wonder if it would have been much faster with the 2 stroke .
What was the difference in the fuel consumption

nice set up !! looks good, shame my humber was the pits, it literally fell to pieces in a matter of a few weeks!! interesting to hear the engines give out the same, i had a Mariner 90 four stroke on mine, top speed 46 knots chine walk at 44 knots, nice hull tho

Shame about your humber! With the next 3 were having delivered we have had about 20 humbers this year, with no problems.

Were selling the destroyers at £11995 with 75hp 2 strokes and £12995 with 75hp four strokes, all kitted up with a frames, braked trailers etc

Strange that I thought Humbers were known as top quality tough boats have been very impressed with all the ones I have seen and would have bought one of those destroyers had it been in my price range
