So I decided to buy another Boat (Her indoors said you can never have enough) It is a Ranieri Revolution 4.55 which is a boat I have been looking at for a long while. It is quite small and compact but can carry a few people in comfort. It only has a 50 hp outboard which most of these seem to have.
We bought is some 200 miles from home and looking at the trailer it looked very good if several years old.
Well the trailer was not good and 190 miles from home the wheel fell off.
Another heads up to people. The AA which is usually excellent has changed its policy on trailers. It would appear that if at the roadside the AA man sends 3 pics to a faceless man in a back office and he says the trailer was not road worthy. You have to pay for the recovery. Which on this occasion for 190 miles cost me £954 ..... Ouch
Pleased with the boat none the less. Now just got to source a new axel which is not quick unfortunatly
