He said it's not the best engine for the job, doesn't rule it out but.....

I want a craft to take to Poole and enjoy the coastline there and other places too
Get a nice semi cleaver prop & it should go pretty well!

Did you seriously get the engine, battery, battery box and the fuel bladder as part of this deal???

http://www.rib.net/forum/f36/tohatsu...0hp-52408.html

That fuel bladder alone, if bought new, would easily cost 2/3 of the price of the package!!!

What is the make and model of the battery? It looks to be an Absorbed Glass Matt type such as ad Odyssey or something.

No I paid extra for the bladder and battery as that's what Rob was running in an FC 470 sib.

I'll have a look at the battery and let you know.
