115hp Merc 4 stroke @ 2 years

140 Suzuki 4 Stroke @ 2 Years

150hp Optimax @ 3 Years

150 hp Honda @ 5 Years

The merc f115 4 stoke has a 3 year warrany so i understand

I would double check on that one, all the 2003 brochures say 2 years. There is also a 3 year Anti Corrosion Warranty on all mercs/mariners.

If you buying off who i think your buying off get evrything in writing.

I will post some pics of some of the detail tomorrow, every surface is flow coated even the hidden ones, the design of the bilge lockers i think adds stiffness to the Hull. The stern detail with its battery locker and outboard well is also good and the finish of the gell coat is as good as i have seen...but of course this is only my view..hopefully i will meet up with some of the Forum members in the Spring and get your opinion. The only thing i dont like about it is the wiring, but i am sorting that out over the winter....The motor and Seastar H/steering seem fine. i have a raymarine plotter/sounder fitted and i have seen just short of 40 knotts on that. but that said i have not had that much use out of yet so i dont know if she is set up spot on yet. thats why it would be good to get some more expert opinion.

Anyone want to guess what make of boat this is?

[Mosser]

[Charles]

JF's Phantom?

[Cookee]

Mosser - ?

Charles - No

[Brian]

[Julian]

This looks like a Falcon build to me, u can tell by the wavey lines. Manos is going to kill me.

[Cookee]

Brian and Julian get the top prize - a slap on the back from Manos!

These'll be the Little People, to be sure, to be sure.

Saw a few down in Capetown when I was there, but they were the race boats, and a friend of mine was given a tour of the factory recently, I don't think you want to hear what he had to say!

[chrisallse]
