Sorry to sound negative but, have you also considered the additional payload the trailer would add to the caravan?
I know it's a 'lightweight' trailer but still probably weigh 50kgs or so. With all...

This was my train of thought. I'm aware that shortening the drawbar will move the hitch closer to the fulcrum point and so decrease the amount of leverage but, depending on the construction of the...

Personally I don't see mixing oil as a great chore, you can get a tiller extension, PTT is not really necessary due to its light weight and the smell... well I see that as a plus point [emoji6]

83kg is heavy for a 30hp 2 stroke. I had a 2 stroke 30hp Yam on the back of a futura a few years ago. It was around 53kg and just about on the limit of what you'd want to lump around. Nice engine...

To an extent, it comes down to how much camping gear you take. If it's basic stuff and a 2 man tent you should be ok. If it's the small empire that most families carry around with them these days...

Ok, thanks. I like the fact that it's secured on to rubbing strake, alleviating the need to stick extra patches.

On a side note, where did you get your bow canopy, is it actually made by Honda?

My SR4 with 50hp Mariner would do over 36 knots. Yours being slightly longer with a bigger engine I'd say you could expect somewhere in the same region [emoji106]

I've considered one of these as a cheap/light alternative to an auxiliary on my SIB.
What amp hour battery did you have?
Would a small 7ah battery run one and for approximately how long?

As Futura's ride up on the speed tubes when on the plane, would you not adjust the engine height according to the speed tubes height rather than hull?

Thanks Paddlers. I also have am alloy floor T35 but use the pump for an inflatable awning with needs 12psi. From the description I've found online it apparently inflates to 15psi so fits the bill 👌
