We bought some cheap dinghys on Saturday, decided to drive up to London and try them out, we launched just past teddington
lock, it was a great trip I recommend buying the dinghy with a viewing panel, you can see into the water that way.

here is the dinghy..........

remember your safety gear, white water rafting in Canada next .

Surprised you weren't pulled by the Old Bill for putting up too much wash,

What size outboard did you use to tear up the tideway....something suitable like a 75hp I hope. Did you stop for tea at Westminster?

 

[bigwow]

Hope you were in possession of the requisite licence, you know the one they keep going on about periodically on here

 

[teddington_lock]

Won't need a licence downstream of teddington

 

[mlines]

Byron ,,, to fast for that, boats well designed no wash
Ramage,, you are spot on 75hp 50hp will do, stopped at the bridge for some chicken nuggets and air
Bigwow,, as Ted said licence not required.
Mlines,, not us, just not shifting enough
Hartcjhart,, Running on Jack daniels

Nice vessel, does a torch through the viewing panel work as an underwater light?

Ummmm! You do realise my wash comment referred to the inflatable depicted in the very first posting of this thread as was therefore said tongue in cheek.

You will need at least three to have any cred in the marina,would also suggest that you do extensive research as to which colour will illuminate best the type of water you will be floating in.You may also wish to consider the very reasonably priced device available for making them flash on and off in time to your music apps on your Ipad.
About Ten Thousand Pounds will probably be enough if you cut a few corners on installation.
