britboard Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I could be tempted to a run out, but sure if i should though with a brand new engine (still running in) how far out are we talking? and i will likely need some crew myself, i will be at the barbie on saturday night lets discuss then as i need to sort out my plans for the weekend as i'm on the radio course on saturday and unless i can find somewhere safe to put the boat for the day and somewhere to bed down for the night, i may not be able anyhow !

just add water Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Simon its 24 miles from Poole Bar Buoy quite a trip for a running in engine, but as long as you vary the revs and do not cane it you should lieharbe OK C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britboard Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 as you vary the revs and do not cane it ...... Have you seen the video ?? I was only on half throttle Paul Right boys i've got myself sorted for storage and bedding, i forgot that there is a hovercraft meeting at fawley this weekend so i'm leaving the boat there with friends and camping out. Whats the plan for Sunday with regard timings as i will be launching from Lymington as its only 11 miles from where i'm staying and what gear/tackle should i bring? also there is room for another 1 onboard if anyone wants a trip out, catch me at the BBQ or post up. If any of you are at a loose end during Saturday and want to go and see the hovercraft racing it usually starts at about 10:00 am and its at Gang Warily right opposite the fawley refinery entrance, well worth a visit if you've not seen it before 0 to 90 mph in about 7 seconds on a bag of air with no brakes always makes for good racing. see you all Saturday Simon L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
