Average forum boat.

Makes sense if you correlate that to the average age of the people who post here and the age of their boats

I remember when filling up with diesel the fuel guy laughed at my 40 litres which could last half a season. He said he filled up the biggest Princess boats.co.uk sell with 18k of fuel. Ouch.
A frind with a Hardy (42 i think) said he does about 1 mpg. So a simple weekend trip to bradwell costs him 500 quid. So he doesnt use it for much other than a caravan.
If you buy a motorboat as a caravan then size matters.

On our first trip out this year it was noticeable how many of the big planing Mobos weren't planing but plodding along at displacement speed.

Tell me about it! I spent 3 hours working on my solar panel frame at full reach above my head. I was knackered when I got home.

You need a rope ladder on that panel

Run by a guy called Danny.

Its a strange phenomenon, when you think about someone you haven't thought about for years and then find they passed way. Danny was the son, the guy who ran the company (Hydramec) back them was called Peter Church. I just saw a post on LinkedIn from Danny to say that Peter had passed way at the age of 78. Sad, he was a lovely guy.
