It should be fine with the outboard on. Make sure you put a piece of 2x2 between the leg and frame when trailering (It takes the stress off the trailering catch).

It really looks fantastic.

I don't have a tag line, cos all my imagination is being used dreaming of my next boat.

Where did you get that nice little thing, she looks stunning.

What happened to that old thing you picked up in Scotland??

It still needs more varnish and the lines on the deck put back on but i just wanna get her in the water and drive her like i stole her
I've lost count of the money spent but have the paper work to add it all up . Labour costs are around 4k but that was spare time .......ish

Oh wow. That is so nice. Mind you, I don't think we expected anything less from you.

As to outboard - it's a biggun and the boat is not exactly a spring chicken. You will know better that anyone the chance of stress fractures appearing. Depends how far you are going to tow.

That really is a fine looking boat. Can we see the foredeck? Did you put the lines back?

I did notice one crack on a non structual part but she has two knees on the deck corners and another laminated one in the middle of the transom running down and along the keel line that show no sign of movement .... what do you call the keel of a boat with no keel
The lines are not back on but its all subject to spare cash right now and i aint got any I have just bought her outright and am really really skint ............. but happy i have managed to keep her

The National Trailer & Towing Association website will tell you just about everything you need to know. http://www.ntta.co.uk/

I cannot not point out that the prop etc must be protected as it constitutes a dangerous projection as it is!

Don't forget the speed limits that apply to tralers and dont get caught in the outside lane of motorways (with more than two lanes)
