searider console
i just cant leave it alone,,(the boat in talking about)i was going to have a console made as my last one was really comfortable, but a different money saving idea was to raise the throttle and the console height, 5x2 Timber, pressure treated, and some tapped pipe for the original 10mm studs on the floor,,these threaded pipe sections were inserted in the wood so that the 10mm bolts could take hold, there used to be a genuine Avon part number for theso called "console extension", but as you would imagine it was priced at £250.00 anyway its superb!!!! much more comfortable,
also added some longer range fuel tanks 43L each!!

it sends electrical pulses through the water aimed at passing Etec's and limits the ign to only acheive 39.5 knots.!!!

So we'd still be faster than you surely you would want them to limit down to 35 knots to give you a fighting chance
