Hello,

Thought of buying one again, since there are no 470 on the market i'd go for a 5,4m.

I do not have experience in this special case, but to me, replacing the deck on a Searider seems to be a tough job. When i look into the hull through the big hole at the transom, it looks...

Hello,
Biggles, you don't need 70HP on the 4,7. Mine goes with the 50HP Engine and a wrong prop (i need much more pitch) exactly 27knots. I hope to get even more with 2-3" more pitch.
