ARGO \'0\' Maiden Voyage
I have owned her since May, and been looking for an engine since then (see Bl**dy Outboards), but everything finally came together on Saturday and Argo '0' finally got her feet wet.
The boat and engine behaved perfectly. I recorded 35Mph on the GPS at 3500 rpm, so I would guess she's good for another 10-15mph. My electrics worked faultlessly and all the new kit, apart from the fish-finder, was on top form. The weather off Anglesey was almost perfect, the sea state was OK, and we caught enough fish to keep the 6 hour trip interesting.
All in all it was a perfect first trip! Just one thing, some bright spark has decided to introduce a £10 launching fee at Treath Beachan!!!
