ribcrazy, the tanks are going under the consul 2 x 22ltrs and a 22ltr under the bench seat.

I don't think Ian does under floor tanks on the 5.4 .

Got to be a 115 opti!!! 3cyl really quiet and pure power. We had the 90 on a SR 5.4, great fuel economy on those too, just awesome. What's your max hp on the transom?

Cheers, and funny enough neal, I was just thinking that, it would make a nice shade to keep the sun off me beer on the new drinks holder that's being fitted on the consul

Well I called at Eurocraft today and met up with Ian from L.P.B.'s to discuss the fitting of wear patches, handles etc. Thanks to Dave from Eurocraft for accommodating my requests, you've got a nice set up there mate and thanks to Ian for helping me with ideas of what and where to fit it

Here's few more pics now tubes are on. Quality are not very good as I had the wrong setting on my camera

Sounds like it was a good move to go with aircraft, if you'd gone with ribquest you may have lost your money! Rumours of administration/bankruptcy/buy out.
