Lovely boat, excellent condition.

What do you think of the diesel outboard?

Yep its a petrol.

To be honest the thing that I was most concerned about was the engine size. I wondered if the 115hp would be up to the job. Everyone that I spoke to assured me the combination was absolutely fine, but until I'd tried it for myself I always had a doubt at the back of my mind.

But after the 3 hour run from Plymouth to Torquay on Saturday I was pleasantly surprised at how she handled with that engine, and to use less than 1/4 of a tank (120 liter tank) over 50 miles, most of it off the plane ploughing through big seas, I am now a very happy bunny.

Apologies, I thought DDF meant Diesel and because you had changed your mind on the type of Merry Fisher, I id wondered if you had gone diesel! :roll:

A not easy to find boat. Well done Sprocker/

I guess it was more luck than management. Just happened to be looking at the right time in the right place.

30 litres for 50 miles is impressive indeed! I'd be pleased too if I ever for that hahaha.
