Cheers guys, I'm pleased with the way that it's turned out. I'll get a couple of interior shots taken tomorrow. I'm especially chuffed with the olive barrel dry storage solution.

She looks really good.
Is that a 50hp 4 stroke on the back? I'd be really interested how that performs on the SR4. I've used 30 and 40hp 2 strokes on SR4. Would never have considered putting a 4 stroke on the back.

Me too. The engine was the best bit of a 'project' boat which was languishing at my place. I bought the SR to go with the Honda rather than the other way, which is more usual.
The engine came with a 11x13 prop, if now put a 11x14.5 on there, it'll be interesting to find out how she goes later this morning.
