New Avon 560

[matt h]

just so all can see, will post more pics when i get the components, will have all the usual outhill stuff,bench for the girlies, 2 x jockeys etc,
having a A frame made currently, with some Led Nav lights.
chose the Optimax 115 as it was reasonably light, looked great under the current colour scheme,Hopefully economical on the cruise and can be very fast if need be, reckon it will be a great wavejumping beast!! Also need to keep up with Nos!!!

Do yam do a 100hp? And why does it go so much better?

Nice engine Matt should go really well, did you get it from Advance Marine in Portishead?

Uh yer, why would a 100 yam go better than a 115 opti, not had an opti myself but looks like the perfect choice of set up to me, had plenty of yams up to a 90 and i rate them highly for there response and torque, but the opti should be a tad more responsive with bags of power.
Yes i think Yamaha did a 100 which i think was a v4.

Sorry boys didnt read the optimax bit the one i tried was the 115 4 stroke

Thanks chaps, i got the engine frome Mobile marine engineers in Lyme Regis, did me a great deal, £5500 with smartcraft and a lifting eye! im hoping it will do 40 kts +, really looking forward to getting out on the water, hopefully team up with Nos on its maiden voyage for some drinking and wall to wall vomiting etc and of course some womanising!!! with permission from Miss Nos of course !
