Underpowered rib

Some ribs if they are lightly loaded , the motor can be powerful enough, but if they get loaded are not going too well at end ...

It is better to have power in all circumstances

Spanish customs. The fewer you catch, the less work there is to do.

I think the fenders hanging off the side are creating too much drag.

You can tell it's not French or Italian. No white flag and I didn't see it going backwards...
