I take it you didn’t opt for the speed tubes, have you had any feedback from others on them? I presume they give more lift like the Futura but are they then potentially more at risk of damage if beaching or on the trailer? Do they really give that much more speed to warrant 500. Quid??

sorry for the delay on this i didnt opt for the speed tubes because it was a special build and would have had to wait plus for £500 not worth it in terms of performance IMO they will only come into thier own in calm seas not something i get very often

Calm seas.... def not for me either then, a rarity where I’ll be using it most of the time.
