Quite a few folks I reckon. My experience is based on the T35 and I think scaling up my opinion is legit...

Stable... roomy... feels safe... well thought out fittings... well made... amazing value for money... heavy to carry... real faff if a daily inflate... takes a bit more OB power for any given speed compared to lighter/smaller/narrower/air floor SIBs.

Hi all

+1 for that , go for the 30hp that would be my upgrade or Zodiac futura.

I've got a t40 and what fenlander is saying is spot on

I think a lot depends on how you will store/transport/launch

I.e if you intend to trailer and launch and recover from a slip that's very different to having to say build it every week and launching over a stony beach

Cracking boats though I really like mine

I trailer a Hw t35 with a 15 Mercury on the back great bit of kit I was worried at first about the engine bouncing around on the back but the transom seems to cope well so am a happy chap
