Hi Paul, very comprehensive and brilliant video full of practical tips, like the bow wheels, had not even thought of that and I have struggled with my 3.8 ie for years pulling up the banks of our river. Mine is 10 years old now and good as new...they are brilliant little boats. Have fun Dave

Cheers Dave. Really appreciate the comment.

Just a comment on the wheels. I don't like this style as they can be a sod to insert and move into the vertical position (and vice versa) especially on a beach. They are also a little bit loose and can splay. In my case I had both wheels tilting to the left. This style is also not needed on the new Honwave boats as there are no flaps to avoid. Mason Marine in Exeter fitted fold-up straight legged wheels to my T32 ie which are perfect.

Thank you, Paul. Nice video with lots of useful content and ideas. I have the same latest model T38 except I have the Mercury 20 EFI (very similar). By the way what documentation, permit, etc did you acquire for that part of the Thames?
@Paul52306911 ай бұрын
Thanks. You’ll need a Thames boat licence. You can by daily/weekly/monthly ones from most locks, or get an annual licence from the Environment Agency. Cheers.

Excellent-some practical advice for once. I would be very interested if you could be bothered to know your approximate GPH at reasonable planing speed- I'm about to buy a 3,8 with a 15hp but any trip requires a calculation of fuel required- not good to run out !

Like the front wheel trolley. How easy is it to manoeuvre and move with front and rear wheels please? Looking at investing but would need to move the boat 200yds+ from car park to slip.
@Paul523069 Жыл бұрын
We use this setup to wheel our boat from our house to the slip, which is 950m. There is a technique to turning sharp corners but once you’ve done it a couple of times it’s easy. So much less effort than trying to lift the front end and pull.

Good video. I'm interested in them bow wheels. Would you recommend them. Subbed you. Atb Steve 👍
@Paul523069 Жыл бұрын
Hi Steve. Thanks for the sun. Your timing is impeccable as I’ve just finished recording a video comparing those bow wheels with a set from C-tug. I’ll get the video uploaded today/tomorrow. But I’m short, yes I do recommend them - there a real back saver.

I bought them dolly wheels the turnable ones and they were crap the inflatable kept falling off especially when I was turning corners so I sent them back and bought a small foldable trailer instead. ATB Steve.

Hello Paul, I have the same boat with a Yamaha 25hp 2s. It’s a great lightweight portable boat. How has the suzuki 20hp been for reliability? I was thinking of trading the yam 2stroke for the suzuki 4stroke. The suzuki will be lighter more fuel efficient and less noisy! Regards!

Hi, the Suzuki is all of those things 😀. It’s been super reliable and I’m very happy with it.

@@Paul523069 Sounds great Paul. I know th e suzuki 20 will be down on power a bit but i don’t go flat out with my 25, iam half throttle or less all of the time apart from the odd full throttle clear out! Think it’s between the Suzuki 20 and the Honda 20! Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

Hi Paul what speed did it do? And with how many onboard?
@Paul5230693 ай бұрын
Hi Ryan, I’ve never actually measured it but with 2 up (190 kg) it plains very quickly and feels rapid. If I had to guess, I’d say 15-20 knots.
@ryanferris78413 ай бұрын
@@Paul523069 20 knots sounds about tbh 👍 I have a 25 on mine however the engine is 57+ kgs so I am looking a lighter option, is the Suzuki easy lifted?
@Paul5230693 ай бұрын
The Suzuki 20 is around 40Kg so it’s manageable for a few meters. I can shift it on my own from the stand to the transom. There’s a bit of footage in the vid of me doing it.
