alfalfa Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Bought a new boat for diving/fishing/exploring. It goes real fast! She is a 4.4m kiwicraft alloy pontoon, with a modified deep V hull. 2004 yamaha 50hp 2smoke, only done 40(!) hours. Pretty much just run in. Rides beautifully through the chop and small swell. Clocked at 60km/h beside a jetski! (37mph/32kts). Fairly fast when holding onto the tiller. Acceleration is meke, feels like the fastest thing I've ever piloted Looking forward to many hours of use. Got a few ideas for mods: ski pole/gun rack on the transom, proper anchor well up front, possibly a removable cover over the first few feet in the bow for overnight trip gear storage. All I need now is the weather to behave on the weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Oh hell yes, we def do need boat meets, mine is here: My RIB That would fly with 50hp, I only have 30 on mine - would love to put a bigger motor on, but likely won't happen till this one pops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
