Andy135 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 She looks super 👍. Too nice to get covered in worm juice and mackerel scales surely?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thanks Andy, she is a great fishing platform and one reason why I have never had teak look alike decks is because bare gel coat is easily washed down. She is also great for long distance offshore work and weekends away but does like drinking the juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 What a super looking boat (one for Neil?). It looks like you have quite a crew - are they heavy on the juice as well? Geoff.❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi Geoff Thanks for the compliment, Neil has been out on Madness in fact I think it was the trip out with me that confirmed to him he wanted to upgrade to his current boat. The crew, the grandchildren love playing around on the boat or more correctly jumping off. Her indoors also liking the social side of boating. The eldest boy and I love offshore fishing so she gets well used for allsorts of water play She has twin D3 170 hp diesels, flat out at 26 knots so not super quick but will cruise comfortably at 18/20 knots using about 40 litres per hour. I keep a full fuel log and average consumption is about 15 lph but that includes slow plodding and drifting over wrecks with the engine running Martin Saintly Fish and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi Martin, it is great to hear that your family have a lot of pleasure with your boat as well. Back in the days when I used to zoom about in my then new 200HP petrol Fairline Carrera, I found it better NOT to keep a fuel log!!! Geoff.

Geoff. They were lovely boats Geoff, I can remember drooling over those in my younger years. Agree with the fuel log comment but its a habit (read as obsession) I can't seem to shift Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the fuel log comment but its a habit (read as obsession) I can't seem to shift They still are lovely boats in my opinion, but that is of course a bit biased as I bought an old one which i still have and is moored on the river Nene at Peterbrough. this boat has been retro fitted with a Volvo 165HP diesel (not by me), however the petrol version was far more fun, but very juicy. We went from Northney to Brighton and then to Fecamp (and back of course), no fuel use logged, but I reckon something of the order of 1.5mpg. Geoff.☺️ Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Wow that's a fair trek. We have done Alderney and Guernsey on lads long weekends away. I think the last trip to Alderney cost us 450 litres in diesel but that was for 4 days. 1 day wreck hoping over, 2 days on the banks then wreck hoping home again. I reckon we use around 2 litres per mile on an average trip. My last boat was a Karnic 2460 single engine we used about 100 litres less for the same type of trip Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
