Want to find out about these boats. Strengths weaknesses, best 50 hp outboard etc. I'm thinking of setting some up for day/weekend charter and want to contact some owners wo know which bits might break. ANy help much appreciated. Also anyone who knows a bit more about code of charter for smaller boats like this. Thamnks Pete.

There has been a lot of chat about these boats on this forum in the past and if what others is said is to be believed then these boats are very flimsy and hard to handle at low speed. Not good features for assets being put in the hands of grockels! I would get something welded in 10mm steel plate mate.

I was toying with the idea as well. But --- forget it if you want to sail. They are flimsy and equipped with totally inadequate hardware.
