Hi,
I am looking at a yam 480r rib. Do these boats have a deep vee and how do they handle in the rough stuff?
Could you compare it to a 4.7 searider?
Many thanks
Nathan

Hi,
I am buying probably two small speed boats to get the engines and then sell the trailer to get a bit of money back.

Hi,
There is a sea fox 230 and it's going for around $5000 (not 100% sure on currency rates) , however, there is no engine or windscreen.
Now i know the windscreen is not cheap so I?m planning to not get one. :p
The engine is proving out to be tricky though. I?m at the edge of my budget...
Hello,
I'm on a budget and stuck on what will be cheaper.
How much will it cost to service and maintain a 3 liter 4 stroke mercruiser inboard in a year?

The boat i am looking to buy it for is a 1993 Thompson bow-rider 1800 with a 3 litre mercruiser, i think it originally had a 19' prop.

so would i be...
Just viewed a boat and i think i have finally found the one...3.7 litre picton bowrider and will do 50mph and yet there is still plenty of space with a fully open bow.
there is only one thing i noticed on this boat, the steering had alot of play in it. :(
is that a big problem to fix?
there...

hi forum

the waves were taller than the boat, i'd say 4ft maybe 5ft waves! this was the first time i'd driven a "powerfull" boat if you could call it that, and i was having the...
