FC470 Test Run
Finally got a Tohatsu 50 fitted to a FC470. Still running the motor in but happy with the setup
Thanks to all that gave their advice and assisted in getting the boat sorted, it’s much appreciated
Excuse the poor drone work

Beautiful views and beaches you've got there mate.....so doesnt matter if you lost the boat a few times Its not easy trying to fly a drone along with trying to pilot a speeding boat.
Does the dog think the drones a bird or frisby or something....he keeps watching it.
Seems to be enjoying the ride anyway

Thanks mate. It’ll definitely take some practice but is a good challenge[emoji1695]
Pup loves the new boat and anything outdoors. Except for the drone that is …she’s wants it taken out [emoji846]

These two pups have something in common…. They like boat rides, but want to take out the drone!

Awesome video! Glad to see the Tohatsu worked out. It’s a great engine. I’m hoping to get a few of the OD zodiacs at some point. All we have are the black ones… and wing 4.7 boats.

Cheers [emoji1303] boat pups are good

The OD 470’s are a bit different. If you grab 1 the favourable US/AUD dollar rate would pay for your shipping [emoji1303] yell if you need a hand with any of that

The Tohatsu is working well so far

That’s an awesome drone shot!

Can you share the website you got them from please? If they come up again, I’d totally take you up on the help. I bought some floors from a guy out there last year and shipped them to the states. The dude who had them was super helpful.

Thanks!

The last auction ended on Wednesday. Just keep and eye out by searching inflatable boat. The next lot shouldn’t be to far away
