Hi,
I have just bought the above package, was wondering what it should go like and is it a good match, its my 1st SIB but have been jetskiing/waterskiing and have had fast boats for 15 years, so not too bothered on top speed more the handling and what do people think of Honwave in general please

Great outfit - only problem is you will need strange transom wheels for it and they DO make life so much easier!!!

2 strokes are so much better than 4 strokes for this sort of application!!!

Cheers for that, I have a folding launching trolley that goes in the back of the car, was going to try that 1st, it fits the boat ok, so hopefully I can use that? and not bother with wheels? or do you still reccomend wheels?

Cheers

Is very important to have the correct pressure on the deck 0.8 Is a nice boat and easy to use it

Normally I would say go with wheels but i really don't like the look of the ones that will fit the Honwave so stick with your trolley!!!

Other than that they are great boat - you should get about 25mph with that setup and a light load.

The transom wheels for the Honda's are a lot tougher than they look Codders. I have a set on my T38 with a 2 stroke 25HP motor. The wheels have proved their worth - they're actually pretty solid.

See here for a few pics I posted last year.

Boat (used twice) with wheels and usual accessories is up for sale if anybody's interested?!??.....
