So I’ve decided to give the special Campion Chase a rest. She was getting used far too often. Fancied a wee overnight or two also, since my wee daughter is now of an age to do so.
I finally sealed the deal on a boat I’d admired for years, all be it older models and usually with a big V6 2 stroke or the more common 4.3 and alpha fitted.
She is a Fletcher 19 GTO Sportscruiser. Most from the other end of the Atlantic won’t be too familiar with the brand, but all in Europe will be. Well known for their rare combination ability to be both quick and good in the rough. A rare combination.
She is fitted with a 2016 efi 115hp on the transom. I am still in shock with how good not only the hull is, but how good the 4 stroke outboard is these days. Incredible on fuel, only a couple of kgs heavier than the 2 stroke version and so easy to service. The economy is literally ridiculous. And for pushing a heavy deep v hull, still manages 43 mph gps with a tempest plus prop.
Don’t tell anyone but I might be a convert to the new regime haha.
