    if you would like the loan of a car battery for a couple of trips i can probably help you out you might find it does what you need and is substantially cheaper for my big glass boat i just use a car battery as its only used for manouvering on drifts and th odd short troll but on my tinny which is purely electric it runs on a pile of old 6v cells linked up these way a tonne but run forever

  3. if you want to buy a package from a dealer be prepared to be bored

    however if youre asking to put a v8 into a tinny then transom ratings are completly irellevant itll come down to picking a hull thatll give some stabillity at high speed and working out a mount system for a drive either jet propshaft or leg id go for a jet meself getting someone to knock it up get a gestimate on hp pay reg for length of boat vs hp maybe pay 70 bucks for an engineers certificate, then go and kill yourself some place scenic after letting as many afo's know first of course so they can bring cameras .

    i had a tuned 65 on the back of my 14ft quintrex and it was very quick it could pull a knee boarder out the water with 8 people in the boat and would chase down the old jetskis in flat water in the bay it was a bit of a handfull but still good fun :)

  5. DID YOU KNOW: It can take up to NINE YEARS* for black bream to reach the minimum legal size of 26cm, another very good reason to return all undersize or unwanted bream safely to the water. Bream may live as long as 20 years and approximate growth rates* are:

    1 year - 9cm

    2 years - 14cm

    3 years - 18cm

    4 years - 21cm

    5 years - 22cm

    6 years - 23cm

    7 years - 24cm

    8 years - 25cm

    10 years - 30.5cm

    12 years - 33cm
