[chewy]

Rated to 115hp, looks tidy.

Looks v smart! Though sits at one heck of an angle?

Hi all

the top speed is 50knots and it feels like 90 in this small boat :-) I had some fun "airtime" with it :-) The angle is and ride position is great, two people take place behind the wheel and the a nice cruising speed from 25 - 40 knots.. however the best conditions is when it´s windy and lots of waves

bloody hell, 50 knots. Our 5.4 SR had a 90 and chine walked when near flat out. Looks a v nice boat, the hull must be pretty good.

What determines max hull speed before chin walking then? I read something about a flat planing pad at the rear that stops it and increases your max speed should the engine be up to it. Great engine btw also, we had the 90.

I don't know what exactly "chin walked" means but it´s quite stable in top speed but you have to know what you are doing as not much hull are in the water. The hull is very V shaped all the way back and it´s very light as it´s built in vaccuum injected vinylester plastic... I love the engine, great power and acceleration compared to any 4-stroke..http://www.dahlnaval.se

it's the violent side to side wobble you get at max speed with the motor trimmed right out, which makes you poo yourself the first time it happens

What is the price for a bare boat today?

Is it ocke designed? Where is the hull built?

[Anders Svensson]

I paid around 29000 EURO for the boat with the engine so i guess the boat would cost around 14000 EURO without the engine. It´s built in Nacka in Sweden.
