Yep and fit a pair of Volvo Penta Archimedes on the back and you wont go wrong.

Anyway Boys,whatever gets to go on the back, I'm looking forward to getting it on the Water,and doing some Cruiseing wiv me mates! THAT'S what it's realy all about! And next year hopefully get over to the Emerald Isle and do some with Wiko too!

Just bought a 250 opti today for my new Redbay 7.4 being built at the moment. A mate has a 225 and the acceleration is awesome so looking forward to trying the 250..

Sounds good to me! Hope you got a good price!? All the best with new Redbay, nice boat
Be interested to know what sort of performance you get.

If the budget will stand it I’d go 250 ETEC

5 year warranty
No servicing for 3 years (Opti will cost you more than a few quid for servicing)
Quieter than the Opti
Nice flyby wire I command throttle
Put an engine cover on if you don’t like the colour

That NMEA display makes my Icommands look like a dash panel on a Fordson Major.

I'll leave the nav and fuel management to you then.

It's still in the mix.....I certainly liked the last one.With a predominately Black boat it does give me pause a bit. Not pushed for time so we'll see. Guages ect, DO look smart though!!
What are you running?

I had a spin on a rib with ICON.

It's a superb bit of kit. Worth the extra money just for that IMO

I've found a far better solution, just costs far more than a bag
