I need to get hold of some Holt Allen blocks for a (gasp) sail boat. They are two Holt Allen 38mm...

I have the same problem if the hose nozzle is slightly out of alignment with the filling tube. If the alignment is straight there is no problem.

That looks like a project rib!
Just out of interest, why have you gone for a fibreglass extension rather than modify the transom or use metal extension brackets?
I was thinking the loads on...

Not the deepest v around..... but should be pretty quick in flat water.
I'd be a bit worried about keeping that sunshade on at any speed though. Bet you'll need to retract it or fit some...

Stephen, not much more to add than is in this thread. The Soozi 140 is fine, but the boat will take a lot more speed than the engine delivers.
The DF150 is a big lump of motor, (215 kg vs around...

My guess is the 640 would be all you need, but have a talk with Ocean Eco, or Stoo in your neighbourhood, and the UK guys will be along soon and have a look at the 640 threads which are quite helpful.

Over the other way
Both of the boats are highly competent so you are going to get there and back OK, to me it would be a matter of how fast you need to do it, do you need to go or can bail out if the sea conditions get...

OK, here is 2cents worth from an Australian perspective. I went through this in detail 2 years or so ago, and as far as I can see the choices have narrowed if anything.
But there is a fair range...

You can just manage a 145kg tornado single handed, and it is easy with two people. I would have thought a well...
