![]() That's coming up a treat and with a 130 litre fuel tank you might be able to make it to some Florida flats and back, in an arvo ![]() Whats the recommended horsepower for that shapely beast? |

Yeah the 130L tank will keep it going for quite a while, especially when a lot of the fishing will be done under electric power.
I'll be doing a number of walk arounds, i just need to get it outside as there isn't enough room in the shed for anything let alone a walk around... ![]() I'll be putting a 90 on the back, recommended is 70 - 90 however if i wanted, and with some redesign (approved by the engineer) i could go a 115 (like another builder has) but i really have no need.
