Thread: Show us ya boat porn

Here my Kraft , made by a Polynesian guy. It blends well with the locals in Raglan :-)



Waiting for the carbon fibre foil board to be built. www.j-shapes.com

Doesnt look to have much reserve boyancy.

Brought just before going overseas for 7 years, so winterised and lived in a storage shed. Been using it a few times in the last 4 years.... Kids love being on the water, but have to pick the day due to size etc... a bigger boat we would use it more..... (well that's what I told the missus to justify getting a 'slightly' bigger boat)

The rating for it is 40hp, but the 40 and 50hp were the same weight so brought the 50.


Pros - Great trailer and tows well (self built), was all new, over HP'd - nice to have on tap, cheap to run, only 42.2hrs, plastic

Cons - to small (need to fit 2 kids and missus + me), sides to low, back seats, plastic


So although porn thread, its also for sale ...... (looking for a 6-6.3M HT AL....)

Im Guessing that would fly! @ beaker ?

Ah yes, 43mph from memory
trim is the key..... and the weight of the co pilot.
(note spare tank on my side to account for fat mates - or scrawny me, either way ....)

Uses no gas to, running cost is zip, unless really on/off driving through heavy seas.

It's very different to most kiwi boats with its wet deck design.

I bet she would be nice and stable and cut through the water nicely.
