You have not got a trailer for it?I towed a 10 metre water taxi to southampton from manchester last month,weighed nearly 3 ton,no hassles with me orange roof lights flashing,passed half dozen cop cars en route.You get atrailer sorted will bring you up and get you back

[baj666]

crackin idea..do you think 200L of fuel would do the trip feeding a 2.5 on my marshan 19?? if it will then ime in for that one 100%

[Russ Downes]

I wish this had been this year, I've been waiting for something like this up this way for a while. Unfortunately my boat sunk on its mooring during a storm in September and I can't see me having anything sorted for next season.

Probably would have struggled to keep up with you boys anyway.

I'll be there to spectate though.
