We had 37 point something on my first 4m. Side by side seating, two fat blokes on board (although I may have been slimmer 15 years ago than I am now).
50hp all manual Yamaha.

I had the wrong prop. It was a Yamaha prop but the pitch was too big. Really poor acceleration. It was all I could afford at the time!

Simply awesome fun. I've been out in the ruff in my 4 so I knew how capable it was but yesterday was it longest outing.
Used more fuel in the discovery getting there and back than the old 2-smoke mariner did all day.
