Yep - but Anglesey from Southcoast is a long way to go for a small boat ( or trailer ! ) ....took me £50 in diesel and four cans of redbull to get home after our jaunt up that way !

It's a journey I'll be doing on Thursday so that I can have a quick blast around Poole bay.. Do it!!!

Short but I really found prop slip helped enormously by a semi cleaver prop! They are totally impractical as boats go, but an absolute blast (provided you don't mind getting WET!)

If ya ain't getting wet on a rib/sib or cat you aren't pushing hard enough lol

PeterM · 18 June 2013, 19:03

Well...possible boat still on eBay..I'm hoping no-one on here would bid for it...I'm not convinced how real it is as to being a zapcat...

How would it go with my 25 off the bombard?

rik_elliott · 19 June 2013, 06:19

Mine went ok with a 15 just to mess about on, but was nuts with a 40. 25 should be pretty entertaining one up

As a minimum I forecast bruised ribs and a complete loss of street cred

Can I have a go

Isn't that why they use helmets? So old darts like me don't look silly lol

I used to wear a gath windsurfer helmet with a visor - really made a massive difference to your vision what with all the spray , and definitely made me feel a little less suicidal when blasting along. Ahhh… good times :-)

Of course it would (once for about ten minutes), but how much fun would it be!
