Teignmouth is the nearest place for me to launch from Polly Steps. But hoping to explore the area a bit more so with trailer will travel. Where would you recommend Fred?

Tidy ! Engine looks fairly new as well. Give that Transom a good look over to make sure a good job was done.

Thanks for the comments, the weather is looking poor this weekend, but I've a week off shortly so I'll hopefully get to use her a fair bit in the next few weeks.
