    Mine is best around 22-23knots, at around 20l per hour. So just under 1nm per liter. Flat rack 32 knots, and 55litres per hour....
    That's a single 150hp merc,
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    They are good... mine is 2015 and has been great.... at the moment it has a jet unit and tiller steering and has only had fresh water use.... but luckily I still have the gear case.

    Have you posted any photos of your boat... any idea how heavy it may be?...(To help with my fuel estimations) .... with a 10mm plate bottom, this one will not be a light weight boat... but then it now is a few hundred Kgs less than original without the inboard Chev.

    Mines a FC620HT. About 2200kg all up on the trailer. That's with 180L fuel and 2 chilli bins, on board toilet, and half a fishing tackle shop,.....

    Nice!... And it is unlikely I will be as quite as heavy as that, so I will work using your fuel consumption figures to size my fuel tank.... cheers

    Bit of different territory this morning just for a change

    Cold hands at low tide but no shortage of enthusiasm !!





    Here's a tip for you fellas... over the years i have heard a few different theories on how to make the cockles spit out sand.

    Truth is no amount of soaking will make them 'spit' !! There is no sand on the inside of a cockle it all comes off the outside of the shell when you cook it.

    Best method is...rub them vigorously in a sink for a while under running water.



    You should be able to get them pretty clean before steaming them open.



    RESULT...Bloody tasty
