Didn't realize i hadn't transferred pics over. I'd imagine all on here have already seen all my pictures of her already!
1992 Draco Crystal, 5.7 Merc Alpha one.
Chin Chin.
Owned since June 2014.
Previous boat - 'borrowed' from the old man in about 2005 - 1984 Draco 1800 daycab, (owned from 1 year old).


More to follow once the interior refurb is complete...

Hi Draco,
Welcome to the forum! Great to hear from a fellow owner, not too many about I don't think?
Where about a are you based?
Twin merc 4.3's?
Let's have some pictures then..
At last I'm not all alone..

A very warm welcome Draco.

And +1, what he said.

[Draco]

Thanks for the welcome.
We have twin 3.0lx's installed.
Currently the boat is at Hartlepool marina . We also tow her to Salcombe and occasionally up to the West coast of Scotland.
I will hunt out some pictures.
It is good to come across another Crystal owner .

Out of interest, what do you tow with and how do you find the long journey?

[Draco]

We tow with a 110 td5 defender.
I enjoy towing the boat even for the long journey down to Salcombe.
What I find really important is to make sure that the trailer has been properly serviced. We also try to tow with a nearly empty fuel tank and ensure that the weight distribution on the trailer is right.
