420 air deck v floor pressure wave

[Drewgrundy14]

Cheers all for your reply’s think I’m gonna swap out the prowave for a honwave T40 with the mariner, marathon 25hp 2 stroke. What you guys think of this pair up?

[Highland Haggis]

Personally I would go with the four stroke 25hp I have the 20hp and with two people plus camping gear would just keep up with the guys with the 25hp

I would have thought the T40 and your current Mariner 25hp 2-stroke would make a great sturdy and roomy combo.

Does anyone here have first hand experience?

I have that exact zodiac dude. 4.2 futura FR. I have to say what an awesome bit of kit it is. Goes like stink and floats over chop, she’s happier out of the water than in it. After owning 2 hard bottomed boats previously I am totally in love with this boats fun cheeky side. She does Christchurch run to totland IOW in 22 mins.
