It's a Sea Ray 240. Lovely looking boat.

Since the miserable devil can't be bothered to post here, I'll do it for him. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Something like that would suit me nicely too :) Right on the limit for legal towing however.

Looks a nice thing, I wondered how long it would be before he got the bug for touring again :)

It's not much different towing a big one to a little one once you get used to it.

done some research and its a 2000 and weighs just over 2500kg, 700kg for his trailer, still a big rig but worth the effort, makes me wonder if my Pathfinder can pull that. But then Im still knackered after a 40mile trip to Cambridge by road. SO miss my auto box Galaxy for towing -
