Yeah, I was thinking it won't be happy going above 80kmph with the boat.

It will probably rev quite high.

Probably whatever is on special @ supercheap.

It's going to be around sea water, so don't want to over invest and there are some other things I would want to get over a steering wheel.

Cheers mate.

Yeah I am usually very critical of my work, but I have to admit that I was quite pleased/surprised how well these turned out given this was my first ever attempt at re upholstering.

Hoping to get her in the water this Saturday to finally see what's what.

Some videos from the weekend.

Father in law taking it easy.

Little bit faster but still on WOT

One thing I will need to get a video of next time is the low speed left/right wander! It is insane!

Makes it really difficult to get in and out of Mt.Martha Cove without looking like I am heavily intoxicated...

Yeah, I've had a look however they are a bit costly.

Not sure I will be able to justify the purchase any time soon.

At the moment my 'purchase' list is:

- Trim sender (~$130)
- Bilge blower (~$50)
- Headunit (~$50)
- Fenders (~$60)
- Fish finder (~$400)
- Closed cooling system (~$1200)

Already spent about another $500 since buying the boat so wifey will not be pleased if I add any more. :)
