Few action shots of my SR4.
Got this one about 6 months ago and know already it will never leave!
I've driven all kinds of boats, small, big, slow and fast bit this thing give a smile every time!

It's fitted with a 60 autolube with powertrim. Topspeed 67km/h but then she does start to chinewalk...
But the wholeshot that is impressive. Absolute ludicris.

Few small changes are on the planning. Backrests and making the seat a bit longer so 2 people can fit.

With plenty of locktime time on my hands my SR4’s been getting some love. Re-wired, new custom switch/breaker panel and a good clean/polish.

That's a very impressive renovation. Never seen one done in a yacht tender style before!

This is my restored SR5.4. I took some liberties and went a different direction with the layout and design with 4 jockeys. Its a little cramped but quite fun for all I believe I will be changing out the radar arch and making one in the more classic style that will work with a self-righting. I was unable to put the thumbnails in but here is a link to the dropbox.


setup.

I drove this boat until last year.
A 5.4m Searider from the British police.
The inside of the boat was badly damaged when it was purchased.
I rebuilt it and used it with a 90hp Honda.

Today’s update I cut the trunk flange off and mounted these one way valves. Unfortunately after sea trial they sit too far below the water line and let a ton of water in when backing down. Will be fabricating trunks to go over the one way ports this week.
