I thought that people took perfectly serviceable boats and ruined them to give that much desired authentic patina, like the...

All depends what you're using your boat for - and when.

On one of those videos it was dark and -6 when we launched and dark again and -8 when we came back. There's just no way I'd be holding on to...

I'd say that an Etec 40Hp would be just about the worst possible engine to have on a Futura - I now doubt that the 50Hp would be much better. The 40/50/60 all weigh in at a mammoth 110kg!

IMO,...

You should ditch those old oars, pronto.

They must surely be the marine equivalent of the bodywork on an old 'woody' Morris Minor - how many of those do you see in MaxPower?

Zodiac's ply floors also have rails. Besides which, the bow section on those boats spec'ed with an aluminium floor is ply anyway.
