Chasing another boat

[JDP]

Got my eye on another little trailer boat, down the coast. Finding covid border restrictions a pain to work around but at least this boat is only 800km away. This one is just a little 15ft boat, a model Ive owned before only this one is powered by a little Honda 90 vtec. Anyone had any experience with these 90's ?

Can't help with the question, but made I chucklethat a 90 over there is considered little 🤣

We like to have enough power to outrun bad weather while fishing far offshore, these particular 15ft centre consoles often have 115 4 strokes and the 17ft version up to 200hp. The 19ft is generally powered with 250-300hp, Im currently skippering a 19 with a New Honda 250 but the owner is disappointed with it and now wanting to go back to a 300 Yam.

These are all the same 15ft hull, just under different names. Mine goes under the Formula brand having been made by that company. The one with the 225 on the back looks a bit bum heavy. As you can see, mine with a 90hp is at the low hp end.
