Had the first trip out last week at pentewan after a 170 mile drive finaly got the boat in the water she had a top speed of 19.5mph with 3 adults onboard http://connect.garmin.com/activity/46618031
Nice to see it in use! I have a similar setup (Mariner 15 with 3.1 mtr SIB) and I think you'll be able to squeeze out a fair few more MPH with less people. Can get 26 on my own, and 23 with 2 adults according to GPS.
I even managed to tow a ringo with a fully grown adult in with just me in the boat, I was completely impressed at the whole setup. Just can't wait till the next time. As for the fishing side of things I thing I might need help the only thing I caught was some sea weed on my anchor.Cheers Ben
I would like to launch there did you use the campsite launch facilities? Tried porthpean round the corner but it's difficult getting trailer down the road to the slipway

well done mate.looks like a cracking place to fish
I never used the campsite launch facilities but I think it was 15 pounds in and out , I used the trailer to carry it down to pentewan and then the launch wheels to drag it across the beach, Dont like putting the trailer in the salty stuff, Its a 1st class place.cheers Ben

Its a lovely place as for the fishing It wasnt so good unless catching seaweed on my anchor was any good. My fishing skills are not as succesfull as i would would like.
