My dingy wasn't running too well as last time it conked out on me just off coochie so i got hte mechanics to fix it. It has some shit in teh carby and a bent float.

All fixed, so i took it for a test run yesterday. I didn't realise these little duckies got up on the plane. well at least not with a 105KG fat bastard holding her back :)

It is a 6HP. At first i thought it was some sort of powerband until i realised it must be planing. it didn't click the first time what happened and caught me by surprise so i had to do it a few more times just to make sure.

yeah it will always feel faster because your lower in the water so to speak. It felt like i was doing 20 knots but it was probably a lot less. not sure how big this one is but i think it might be 2.7m. handles 3 people no probs.
