I think I don t have a bad knowledge of motorcycles  off road and 4x4 but my love  is completely different at many  point but I love to learned and know what's going on

Hello

I have a 2001   Freedom Gateway Runabout 5 metres W/75 HP Honda 4 Strokes.

During our trip in the bay yesterday I got plenty of water on the back (around 160 litres) .

I specify that there were no big waves.

Just that when starting my boat goes bit straight for a few seconds before accelerating so that she is going finally horizontal .

 it was stressful for me to remove out the water and my boat was very straight to the conduct .

When I was back home after inspection the hull is absolutely perfect but I saw where the water could surely enter. 

See photos, is that normal ? 

This seal must be perfectly waterproof? 

Is it possible to add a pump on this type of boat ?

Yesterday the level of the water was very close to the batteries.  Is it possible to buy a waterproof box for them ? 

Cheers have a good day Emma. ps hope you ll understand as french lady my tipping is no good thank you in advance 

Thank you guys for your advice do you have any idea about the travel time?  1 hour ? 

For sure I ll be happy to report this trip here with hopefully a nice photos

Hello 

My partner and I have a small experience in boating.

I  have a Freedom Getaway 5 m Runabout W/75HP Honda 4 Stroke

We went approximately 10 times from Cleveland or Manly around Peel Russell or Green Island always under 15 knots wind. 

We would like to go until Tangalooma from Scarborough  tomorrow early morning and come back before 2 pm . We would like to do a snorkelling around the wreck. 

The conditions looks ok on Bom and I have all safety gear, but I would like to know your personal opinion  

I don t want to take any risks but I would like to go little bit more far than 10 min navigation and I would like to have a good day.

Thank you for your advice. 

Cheers
