Christ on a bike!


That's a serious lump for a boat that size!

Surely you can't use all those horses?

It'll be cheap to run fuel wise - be afraid to take it past tick over.

My Kinda boat !
when you look at quick powerboats (phantoms etc) and the size of the engines they are running and then think about how much bouyancy a rib has got with those big tubes extending back past the engine it does set you thinking though.
Mind you I would be a bit wary of jumping a big wave in it perhaps.
