So .....I’m back in the fold
my priority list for my next boat was something I could tow and store ashore. My use on the Isle of Man is sporadic and I didn’t want something left in the water slowly fizzing away. Having had shaft and outdrive boats I fancied outboard. I nice single engine fuel efficient boat around 8m sounded just the ticket!
BruceK posted a picture of his boat on the forum a few weeks back and in the background was a nice looking tub.
I have therefore purchased a 10m, 550hp 25 degree dead rise weapon.....but it is on a trailer? (that I can’t tow on the road legally but we’ll ignore that?)
I can’t thank @BruceK enough for all his help. He spent 4 hours today sat in his car waiting for the transporter to arrive, being my eyes and ears and generally being a top chap. @Kawasaki sea trailed so huge thanks to him too....if anything breaks it’s all his fault.
the plan is a colour change (hate the red), name change and a few other bits. If anyone is interested, I will post my progress. Doing a dual screen android tablet based nav / ais / engine data WiFi bluetooth setup costing sub £500 for example.
Nice to be back on the water.....or the land whenever I want!
