Are you getting another boat Trev? Or giving up?

It is possible but on your own highly risky. Join a club or a Facebook group with other motor boaters. Ask the same question in 2 years time....

Ah ok that makes it more difficult to maintain. Would it be worth considering selling you current boat? If you are going to be stung for £2k annual engine maintenance then taking a hit now may pay off? Depends on how long you planwto keep her I guess? My profile photo shows the Saver 690 I...

I guess one question is, what's the warranty worth? You will always pay through the nose for dealer servicing. I bought a new honda 100 outboard and do all the servicing myself, as long as I use genuine parts then honda are happy. Having an onboard with stern drive is like having 2 engines to...

The power of dreams apparently.... I've had new 135 and 100 HP Hondas and they are totally reliable.

Eye watering is the answer. Spend more on a 4 stroke EFI single outboard and enjoy significantly lower fuel bills. My 7 metre sports boat in profile photo did 30 litres an hour at 20 knots with a 1st generation 200 HP Verado. Later engines are more efficient. You will avoid boating as your...

I've crossed lyme bay (50 miles) in my outboard powered Saver 690 (my profile photo boat). Started off as a F2 but ended on F5 halfway through. Green waves over the bow but I wasn't concerned about the boat, just that I didn't put the canopy up when I could so I was drenched. I would consider...

Ah that's a better engine to put on it. You should get around £3,500 for the Yammy - maybe more if you can sea trial to a prospective buyer. I never buy a bigger engine without a sea trial...

What outboard does it have? A 20 year old one is where you will spend the money!

I've had a selection of inflatables from a Redcrest to a Honwave. Thee Honwave was 3.2 meters long with an inflatable V floor. Fitted with a 15 EFI Mariner it would top out at 19 knots on flat water. The floor would start to deform which limits the speed. Same engine on an Avon 3.1 rib gives...

Have a look at this 90 Yammy. 登录 Facebook They are pretty bullet proof and favoured by the racing fraternity. If you can do a sea trial that will identify any overheating or gearbox issues Reduced to £2400 as well I'm not sure I'd go to a company for an engine of that vintage and value ...

Just worked for me too...

If on out drives then 4 engines...,

Remember, you are buying an engine with a boat attached.....

I've often though what a paddleboard will do with a 3.5 Tohasu on the back. I just need to design and make a suitable bracket.... I would think it would fly

Now returned to owner, sadly, beyond economic repair...

I've messaged you on FB Christian....

Hi Christian, What about 10.00 tomorrow at Force 4 on the A27?

Hi Christian, I was launching there yesterday and the slipway was blocked by an abandoned boat, we also moved a blue dinghy and it was under there. Have cleaned it up but no charger to check. Are you local to Swanwick? PM me...
