How about this for a alternative!

from http://www.waynemaddoxmarine.co.uk/

"While stocks last we are offering the Mercury 150HP OPTIMAX L WITH SMART CRAFT GAUGES & LASER II S/S PROP

for only £6999 00 INCL VAT"

Now how do I persuade the wife that we knead one?

actually on a zapcat - should move along nicely.

I've calculated that I should get 26.8 knots WOT with 2 up and 20 ltrs of fuel

But could be wrong

I'd talk to your number 1 adopted son (failed ) if I were you. he's been quoted a rather special price on some 225's and he may be able to get a deal on the 150's.

Also the people you bought Zeb off are now Honda dealers (i believe) so you may be able to chisel a deal out of them.

Now have you heard the one about the Irishman that didn't want to buy an Optimax

cheers

Stuart

Can second that for Solent Honda, Pete and Steve are very good. Always given me a good deal, now just need to find a place for cheap Unleaded as the 225 drinks it for England!
