Joking aside, when are you going down?
I assume that you arnt driving across!! That ferry must be the most exspensive crossing per mile in the world

I would always mount the tabs in line with the angle of the V - more tab force with less deflection and looks a million times better. Just MHO.

If it makes any odds the tabs on hotshot are in line with the V not horizontally.

Dan how are they mounted do you have a pic of inside the transom?
is your floor cut out at the back to get to the bolts ?
what engine + whats your top speed?

Dan · 06-08-2005, 08:45 PM

Sorry mate, Ive just been to have a look and they are mounted horizontally - they are Kiekhaefer`s. I believe that Burtys are custon made and do look good.

I personally still think that it makes more sense to have them in line with the V.

No
I'm a shallow individual. So when past statements like Cowes is for big race boats and you little ones are only here to make up the numbers & to offset the launching costs. Sub reception for certain boats only, ect ect, ect
I dont go back, regardless.

Jon Fuller · 02-09-2005, 05:04 PM

Nose....spite....cut-off....face..., but not necessarily in that order.

jeez, johnny, there's been a hundred different organisers sinse then!

BluFin · 02-09-2005, 05:15 PM

er............................Yep

How did everybody enjoy there trip around the pits.
Oh couldn't get in..............

Well how about a drink up at the squadron, Oh no invite

Yes I'm a stubbon ass with no sense. must buy a new baby grow in fat old bugger size next time I'm passing Mothercare.

Alright If an organiser goes public here to buy me a beer at the RYS I'll buy him two & life will be happy smiles & petrol will be free for everybody next year red diesel will be even cheaper & Mercury will build a 300 XS & a 400XS two stroke. Verados will be dumped with the tooling in the sea to establish a new coral reef!

Quite true things have changed but "Same shit different Wrapper" Just looking at the poll over 30% of people didn't like it thats a sizeable chunk. I hope it can turn around there is a lot of history there.
Never been one of my favorite places, but there was a certain atmosphere. But heck cost a arm and leg to go with ya boat on the ferry, hotels at a premium & all those feken noisy smelly scooters. ........Where me Parka ................
