What is the Honwave like?

I have been given a Honwave with a Honda 20hp but Ive never had it in the water.

What do they go like? Is it worth dragging it to the loch, Im not sure what Im going to do with it.

Given, a long story but the company I work with/for had a tree planting contract across Loch Quich but had no way of getting to it, they paid one of the planters to buy a boat as the company dont want to have a boat on their "books" as the H&S red tape isnt worth the hassle, anyway, job finished after 3 month and the boat and outboard was surplus to requirement so i got it.

Its a T35 and looks pretty small for a 20 although the transom plate states its fit for it.

Its was brand new 6 months ago

I serviced it last night but I may get parts off you in the future. My local dealers arent the cheapest.

Should be under its 6 year warranty then so keeping the main dealer service history current and you'll have 6 years of support there.
