Was having a walk along Baiter last night when I heard the sound of V8's could see over in the distance a big rib heading for Poole Quay so ran round Baiter and up to the Quay to catch up, did not quite get level with you but good enough to see the Hunton looks and sounds very nice...guess your breaking her in gently for the big one in a few days time...hope all ran well Barry good luck

When we were chatting at the CR I did mention I would post on OSO asking for their thoughts on the 496 425hp engines and if there was any major problems they had come across in running these engines over the years...hopefully they will come back with some interesting feedback for your team

5 replies from OSO members and they seam to highly rate these engines on the reliability front with few problems...going by their comments you should be in with a good chance
