Latest Lifeboat magazine on page 20 says "Anyone for an Arun" . With the new Severn and Trent classboats coming into service they now have 4 Aruns for sale at £150k apiece,too much brass for me at mo but surely one hell of a lot of boat for the money

And the fuel bills will be high.

An Arun uses 80 gallons an hour.

You dont have to go everywhere at full throttle, my little bayliner will suck 18 galls of best unleaded per hour at full throttle but I get away with an average of 6-7 on a days outing
