As a fan of little boats, that appeals hugely and I really like the fit out -but would it take a 40 on the back?? That would be fun to try...

Personally i thnk a 40 would be way OTT . Its just such a short boat . The length of boat in the water (the tech name for that escapes me) means the fore/at pitch is quite sensitive to weight.
A light 30 4 stroke would be choice if I ever re-engine it and I can find one cheap enough with a L/S and electric everything .

Can you crank that 25 up to 30? Is it the same block?

Very unlikely. I'm not going to rush the new engine rig. Aim to get it done and run in in the next week or two.

To bring this up to date.. Wingback to help keep me in the boat as it moves about alot! Bow tank to free up deck and help with the balance, new wheel and handle on the console, bag for storing the little things...
Few more bits to tweak in the next few weeks....
Loving this little boat.... :-)
