Elling KB350 for Fenlander?

Well thats all thanks my daughters skills! Only sorry that you had to look at my ugly old mug!

Keep posting updates, I really look forward to hearing of your maiden voyage!

Hi Jasierock, where is "Up Northi'sh", and do you get out on Ullswater much?
Be good to see a KB350 in the flesh, and I think Fenlander is a bit to far away to bump into

[Fenlander]

>>> think Fenlander is a bit to far away

My East Anglia location is quite broad... we're actually only 5mins in the car from Northamptonshire. Mostly found hanging about near the A1(M) so pre/post Covid an easy call in for those on the Eastern side North/South transit.

>>> Perhaps you will answer this question (but I suspect not):
>>> just too timid to say so.

Sadly SR when you get on one folks often can't really be bothered.

[Tel1965]

David. Will you be having your Elling couriered to you or collecting it ?

[Tel1965]

What is also sad is that he was the very first person to say to me to get a 9.8 2 stroke. A new one if I could. Then gets on a high horse when I do exactly what he advised me to do. Only got to read my very first thread to see that.

[Fenlander]

Sorry you asked elsewhere... only this moment am I going to look where Boatworld are located.

...right just checked... Chesterfield.

That's a 4hr round trip for us so in the anticipation it will arrive before lockdown is released for non-local journeys I'd rather have it delivered.... think they said about £60??

Well SR Tel's memory might shift you off your high horse position. You did indeed tell him back in October...

***In my view it is 2 stroke all the way still. If you can get a new one a 9.8 tohatsu would be ideal***

I rest my case.... you are just mischief making.

A great engine choice and I wouldn’t worry about getting a new one, there are plenty around and easy to buy. Plus 1 vote for quicksilver oil.

[Tel1965]

Thank you for the back up gentlemen.
I guess a 4 hour round trip is a bit much to do. I think it’s just over an hour for me to get there, so I’d prefer to collect it. Covid permitting

If the Tohatsu 9.8hp 2 stroke is readily available and easy to buy I'd like to know where Ferryman.....?
At the tail end of last year after 2 unsuccessful months of trying to source 1, (preferably new) I gave up.
I ended up buying a new Tohatsu 9.8hp 4 stroke instead.
Its a cracking engine but I'd have preferred the lighter 2 stroke variant.

Enjoy your boating and forget the negative comments

Any idea if the "wet" weight of the Tohatsu 9.8hp 4 stroke?

[Fenlander]

I just have this thing in my mind someone somewhere posted they weighed their efi 20hp 4-stroke and found it 2-3kg over dry weight.

So I'd guess the wet weight of the 4-stroke 9.8 might be at least data plate + 1kg... min 39kg??

Just look online, you have to bend the rules but I don’t think the emissions from a 9.8hp outboard are going to kill the planet!

Its around 39kg wet with the charging circuit I added under the flywheel etc.

So in simple terms you have obtained a new 2 stroke illegally and now everyone knows........cos you told them............. Priceless

"Mischief", lol, he's a forum troll, banned previously for that activity. I suspect he'll be shopping for a new username again soonish...

Nah! he'll be along shortly to qualify his volte-face with his usual playground logic.

[Tel1965]

Troll or not, it’s not for me to cast judgement. FairPlay to the guy, he gave me some great advice.

So still a reasonable weight. Food for thought when my lump gets too heavy to lift from the truck, that's if I can't find one of those illegal things to buy!!!!
