Not sure yet , the old style one came in at 450,470-ish , and think we may be clocking 500-550kg without stainless - mostly because of integrated deck/gunnels taking more material , but not sure yet - part of the construction is builders mat that is stitched fibre and not so thirsty on resin than chopstrand / W Roven.

No wood will be used so there we will score a few kg's again. But only after the first one is built will we really know.

It should run very well with 50's then ..... the Benguela is 690kg and flies with 60's (which are 14 kgs heavier per motor than the 50's). The BLAST system makes a big difference for hole shot.

Thanks Hamco - maybe Sat at RB?

No man, I am with sick leave and not normal leave. Had a little opp yesterday, but as soon as I am back to normal, I am going to get Janelle in Struisbaai and bring it to Kleinmond.

Sounds lekker - get well soon!

How are you enjoying those new motors?

 

[hamco]

I have not had the time to enjoy them yet. Had them only once on the water in very crappy conditions.

Cannot wait anymore, but the day will come!

 

[QuQ]

Indeed, that day(s) will come! I reckon you should get your boat ASAP!
