How does it compare to the Azimut 55? Not that I am thinking of getting one /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif just out of interest, prices seem about the same /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

I would be torn apart by half of me wanting desparately to have a go on the Squadie, and the other half that would know damn well how p*ssed off I would feel with my own boat once I got back on it - even though I have only had my new boat a few weeks.

What a dilemma - I trust the Moose was very impressed though!

(Sh*t - I couldn't even afford the fuel)

Re: Fuel Bill

Had an interesting chat to the guy on the Yarmouth fuel pontoon about that last year. Somehow, the thought of paying over a grand to fill the tanks scares me...

Re: Fuel Bill

I know, I know. Squaddie 65 takes over 900 gallons of derv to fill her. Makes you wonder how long it takes to fill, dunnit?

Try filling with LPG!!

I put approx 60 galls of LPG into my Windy a few weeks back. Had the whole pontoon bitching and moaning about the "selfish Windy owner" taking abso-bloody-lutely ages to fill up.

LPG fillers really are slow!! You have to attach the filler hose and then lean on the black button. There isn't a handle that you can lock - even though they are auto shut-off when full. Eventually I got my boat hook and put one end on the black button and jammed the other end on a piller - and then wandered off for a bit.

Oh, the rest of the queue for the pontoon really loved that one!! :)

Re: stoppit stoppit

once filled a Flemming 55 up at a Barge on a canal in Holland with only a car type skinny little hose pump, took a couple of hours of so....

was putting 60 odd gallons in my boat one of the bloody hot days during Cowes week using a car type pump not the big one, the motor in the pump was so hot it started to smoke and the stall and the fuel delivery slowed right down...holy shit...lucky no petrol on that fuel barge...

Re: stoppit stoppit

Once filled my extra long range fuel tanks in my truck in Saudi Arabia. Thing was, I put the little car type pump thingy in a 75 gallon tank on the trailer head board, then went round the other side and fed it into the 90 gallon truck tank. When that was full, I put it into. the 450 gallon trailer belly tank. The Arab atendant was very impressed when I told him about the very special English tank on the head board that took over 600 gallon!! 4p a gallon beat that if you can!!
