MF625 back in the water

[CarMan]

After an Autumn trip to Windermere we parked her semi-undercover this Winter at the edge of a farm wrapped in a (too big) light tarp which woprked fantastically. Now back out, antifouled and washed (thank your Marine Performance at Upton) and moored. She didn't want to float off the trailer thanks to the very low water, but now we're ready for the season . . . . . .

Looks very smart. Are you on the Wilts or Warwicks Avon? If the latter then perhaps I'll see you in Stratford sometime. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Do you ever get down on the Bristol channel? looks like a boat that would enjoy it.

Botnia lives in S.Devon. Just got an old aluminium dinghy at Stratford - don't fancy the Bristol Channel in that /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Based this year on the Severn (last two on the Lower Avon) so Bristol Channel is a possibility I suppose, but not a realistic ambition for now, though I am very keen to go somewhere this season to open up the Suzuki 90! We were thinking Dartmouth perhaps?

Hi, good to see fellow MF625 owner..

Got my 625 back in the water on Wednesday 1st April and steering seized...(even though just 4 prior it was fine). But new cable fitted yesterday within 30 minutes and finished all the other jobs I was wanting to do. Keep my 625 in Hythe on the Solent & DF90 performs well, cruising speed 4000/4300 rpm 19/21 knots.

"thinking Dartmouth perhaps" - excellent choice. Interesting cruising from Exmouth down to Plymouth, all in easy stages.
