The rest would be history and I would be retired on Mustique!

So true. We've had that conversation so many times! Never really fancied being a plumber though.

A pal of mine builds them now, over in Belgium, all though there is talk of the moulds coming back over to have a couple built here next year. £15k would buy you a boat, with an interior. Tank, steering, covers etc would be extra!

mike always build fast boats (if the setup is right)

what do u think it will run with a 300 hp engine ????

[alice]

i think theres a thread on here somewhere about speeds of them ,i seem to remember there slower than the same engine on a ring 21

[Andy C]

Mike will be able to give more details but I think the design idea was more about how it handled the lumpy stuff rather than top end speed.

It may not be the fastest thing out there but it does look good and to me it looks fast just sitting on the trailer I.M.H.O.
- I may be a bit biased

[alice]

yeah i agree,looks great and i believe great in the bumpy stuff too
