Cheers buddy 👍

To be honest it felt safe enough. Take a lot to capsize it 😳

@@123boat watched a few of your videos and to be fair it seems to handle it, south of the isle of wight is no joke .... good to see you pick your days., i've seen some serious waves south of the island ...

@@tessilateddragon I do keep a keen eye on the forecast. Will try and circumnavigate the IOW at some point when the conditions are right 😳👍

@@123boat look foreward to the video ....

You've been lucky there mate

Cheers 👍

Apparently named after a local pirate (Harry Paye) 👍

@@123boat Well I looked it up on Google here are some , Old Harry. noun. informal a jocular name for Satan. 31 Oct 2014 - One legend claims that the stack of Old Harry is so named because the Devil, for whom Old Harry is an age-old nickname, had a sleep on the famed ...there is a few more but all interesting all the same lol.

Wasn't on Monday but still a great day though

I can’t find the figures on fuel use I had written down. I carry a 25ltr tank when I use the 9.9/15hp. It really depends on how I drive and also the sea state can have a large affect on fuel consumption. Mine rolls down and would go in a estate car but I use my van. The t38 is quite heavy but one person should easily move it once deflated.

@@123boat thanks for your reply. I have 4m flat bottom inflatable at the moment but like the look of these new sibs, especially when you get caught out on a swell. So any info would be appreciated. Mine is about 35kg so I have a small sack truck to wheel it to shore and pump up there. Where I take it I would struggle with launch wheels like you because it's a narrow path. So I was hoping to be able to do a honwave the same way. Maybe I need to look at the 3.5m version. Thanks for help

@@gs425 Mines 48kg so a bit of a lump. The wheels are great for most slipways I use but on sand or shingle it would be a nightmare. What I carry (spare fuel,anchor plus big box of tricks!!!) depends on where and what I’m doing. If I’m planning on going out to sea I normally load it with a lot of gear but if I’m solo fishing say in Poole Harbour then I go as light as I can with a 3.5hp outboard. I was tempted to get a smaller Honwave but I can stretch out in mine when I want a rest 😂

@@123boat Yes 48 is a bit of a lump especially when flying solo. I live in Swanage so yes mainly to use in and around Poole harbour. And of course there are heavy speed limits in there too lol

Southys Fishing 😂 There is a ledge under the sea that rises about 20 feet, that causes the rough sea at certain times 👍

Hi aaa aaa Yes it is. All I do is twist it down and lock it with 2 bolts through the electrical conduit and through the seat when I want to use it. I bring it up for fast speed and landing. I will have to do a video on it in more detail when it’s warmer 👍

@@123boat Brilliant idea. The trim tabs make it near impossible to use a transducer arm off the back. I'll have a go at making one like yours. Thanks for the reply and happy boating.

@@aaaaaa-gs4kv I did have it strapped to the tube at the rear but was a pain when landing ashore. Only issue with how I fix it, is a bit of wash coming into the sib at speed, otherwise it works perfectly. Happy boating too 👍

9.9hp converted to 15hp 👍
