/// Hustler - Merlin Sabre 202ci

Always wanted an Inboard, and when i sold the VH used the money from that to buy this boat. Found this one in Adelaide so did the drive over and picked it up (Did the trip in 1 day) now just need to get it registered in Victoria and i'll be all set for Summer.

Looks pretty cool, would a 202 have enough power for a boat though?

Plenty of 202 boats getting around. The boat weighs ~400kg, not 1400 like a Commodore

Took the boats out to Eildon for a test. Maxed out close to 40mph, so im really happy with that. And that's without looking at the pitch of the prop. Boat sits really nicely in the water and handles great. Ordered 2 1100gph bilge pumps as the one that was in there packed in on me. Scored the pair for less than $50 so a small price to pay for a bit of security.

Pics are a little washy because my phone got wet...and later died because of it being in my pocket after Paradox did this to his boat:

Cheers mate, im wrapped with it as a whole already!

Need to give it a good polish, trying to decide whether to hit it with some 1500 wet/dry to bring the lustre back.
