Might be tricky parking at the local tescos, and I'm not sure there's enough storage space for bags & shoes.

Seems to be a good package but I fear the running cost may slightly out weigh the initial purchase cost. So I think I'll give it a miss this time. If I didnt have my boats though..................

I dunno, runs on 22p/litre or summat like that fuel.
Would probably be cheaper to run than my boat.

Yeh, but it's lots of 6 seconds time and time again, not just the once, unlike owning a 2.5efi

Current pump price for fuel on the sucker is $1.25 a UK gall
Which aint to bad.
But if you take the JT8 I've still got sitting here thats 12500 lbs thrust 18,000 with after burner but the bfuel burn goes through the roof. WIthout the burner it 3454 lts/hr wont ever moan about the outboard again
