Looks really nice Terry, are you happy with the engine. I have been tank running my Parsun just to free the new motor in a little ready to take her out this week. Why is it always the case that you have a new piece of kit and either the weather is crap, jobs to be done or the family has made some arrangements for you, Oh yes and the lake where I was going to do the running in is closed due to the entrance being part of a road widening scheme.  SOON VERY SOON. Phil |

hi altop welcome to the site .
i have had a couple of different boats now and the trans e is by far the best i have used or seen they are so robust and loads of room to fish from i have my 3.2 trans e coupled up with a parson 5.8 outboard and i got to say its a great combination for fishing loads of power in fact i have never opened up the engine fully no need it flyes at half power and a full days fishing uses about 3 ltres of fuel so its cheep to run i am in lancashire if your anywhere near me your welcome to come see it .

No he is nowhere near you Terry, Alan is one of my fishing buddies. I took Alan out in the Excel last week or the week before ( age is screwing my memory )and we might have a convert on our hands. We fish the same areas in North Lincs but Alan may like to come over and meet you when you come over to have a closer look at the SIB. If I am not on holiday, I will bring Alan with me anyway.
Phil
