Mine's a 6.5 Canopy Stormforce with a 200hp Suzuki on the back is very adequate!

A brilliant boat, only complaint is that it's a bit big if there's only one of you (but that may well be me!).

It's an excuse for Canterbury to make a bit more cash .. Thanet are also doing the same for Ramsgate and Sandwich slips, and a similar amount.

Will be interesting to see how they police it too,...

I've got the Size 3, for my 4.8 with an A frame, and with the aerial removed it's still a little too short to go over the ends of both tubes, but it's close, the next size up I think would be ok.

Best behaviour then when out on the Kent Coast!

When we visited them a few years ago at a Gillingham Marina open day, the big hard boat wasn't used that much as it cost too much to run!
