Tested the punt out today

[Bob9863]

The wife an I decided to take the punt out today for a test run, we were hoping to go to the river but when we got there they had 8 gates open and the river was running fast. 

Not even the big boats went out, so we switched gear and went to the lake instead. 

We only had two hours on the water, but the little punt works a treat, very stable and just as fast as the tinnie with the little 2.5 yamaha 4 stroke pushing it. 

We cruised around for the 1st hour, then saw some friends fishing on the bank. So despite taking the wrong gear we decided to tie off to a tree and flick some plastics. 

We got ten in an hour so that was not too bad at all.

The little motor really pushes it along nicely.

Nice little session, Bob.

The punt gets along nicely by the looks.

I'm surprised actually, I'm pretty sure it's faster then the little tinnie. I adjusted the trim up a couple of positions and I think that helped out a lot. 

I still can't use WOT, it Max's out on speed at 2/3 revs. 

I might try find a 8 pitch prop for it.
