My New Boat

Its a Shakepeare 650 and thank you for the advice supplied when I asked about them at Christmas.
I hope to see some you out on the water this year.

I looked at this boat, it is very nice but settled on the Extreme in the end.
I wanted something quicker but you will still be running long after I have run out of petrol!
The 4.3 is quite good on fuel.
ENJOY

Thanks for the comments.
Top end is a shade under 50mph, with decent economy it suits us well at the present time.
One day.........I would like an Extreme

Very nice indeed Martin! I have quite a soft spot for those.
Will you be venturing out on the Poker run?

I'm dreaming up a "Top Gear" style "challenge".... a sort of cross between the cabriolet Renault Espace and the car-boat episodes....
Chop the top off, add tubes, and you could have a very nice Revenger RIB!
