Also...have read recently that the Bravo XR props are much better technology than the standard Bravo.

Am thinking of a change...but now need to see how you r mate gets on with 24" before going either 24 or 26" with the XR prop

Hah!!! What's wrong with carrying 23 spare fuel filters!!!???

[motorvator]

Would have thought that was obvious Stef. You have twin engines but an odd number of filters.

Do I win a prize


Is the fuel really that bad at Titchmarsh?

COMEDY!


In my defence I bought the boat in the USA and Yanmar bits are about half price....so I bought a shed load of gear, had it loaded on board....and, erm, never quite got round to unloading it all.

I am a great believer of "have and not need, not need and not have" but having seen quite how many boxes of "leftovers" I have accumulated maybe now is the time for a bit of a re-think!!
