Thats a steal at £400 with that engine ! Lucky bugger ...

See qite a few about - seem to have big tubes but I think too rare to have an informed history or experience.

I had a Lodestar 320 Trimax last year. It is a very well made boat with many design features that are only found on bigger craft. For example: Hot welded seams, large tube diameter, thicker material etc.

The Trimax 3D-V 320 cost about £1,100 new boat only, so you got an absolute steal. Roche Marine are the agents in the UK if you need spares. There's also an e.manual on their Website: www.rochemarine.co.uk

Well done!
