water over the bar was shallow so didnt want to risk sucking sand in to the main while crossing (no problem up on the plane) also a good chance to run the wee aux motor hard for a bit, they dont really get run hard very often.

That mate…. Is a bloody beauty

Could of got both of you in the shit if you got in the thick of it and found you were under gunned on your little motor.

didnt think putting that kind of tow load on unknown tie points on a boat on my first trip out was a great idea. also im no expert but untried towing on the plane seems risky.

I'm sure he's out there cruising around the Mediterranean in his cruise liner

Here is a pic of my boat in its current state

Was out fishing yesterday.. a mate of mine swung by with this brand new Stabi-craft.. actually very proud to see a kiwi boat being tested out on the water.. had a couple of 200Hp Hondas on the back… it looked bloody beautiful… not sure of the package price but will find out?!!!!….. STABI… getting noticed in the Pacific NW!!

The boat was “SOLD”… they were doing a final test run before the owner pickup… told my mate I was going to put a kiwi flag sticker on it…
