I know it was a lot of work for you mate but profit is profit and his ability to see that at his age can only be a good thing, later on it will be bikes and cars
We gonna do our best to keep him away from bikes joe and hopefully the boats will keep him away from the ongoing teen moped trend, if it comes to it we're gonna be firm on the mopeds and say NO mopeds end of!
I've told him his next boat is gonna a whole different experience and we won't be upgrading it as I will give him the speed boat keys when his 16 (then kelly and I will get a 2 berth fishing boat )
I've had a good look round for a used air keel boat just now and not there's really much any good joe, I need to find one asap as we're going away again when josh gets back from camp and I'm not getting into another project! I'm minded to get a new 2.6 Bison with air deck and keel I would rather have a solid floor than an air deck as I've had them before and if the air deck punctures your off the plane but I guess its easy enough to repair on the beach with 2 part epoxy that dries in 10 minutes plus an air deck is a lot lighter when a solid floor, he wanted a air v floor but if the either side of the floor punctures your in real trouble and can only hope to limp back to shore, he also asked me about the Honda honwave planning tabs that the v floor has and I explained to him their a good idea but they inflate on the same chamber as the v floor chamber and and when your dragging the boat ashore the tabs take all the weight and often puncture
I like the Bison as they have moved with the times. . . no other maker includes a front anchor mount and holder and I like the tough fuel tank mat at the rear near near the engine to sit and strap the fuel tank on and I like the way the seat can be moved (neither Avon nor Honda have included such good features and don't move with the times) it's ok having the fuel tank strapped in the middle or the front of the boat but the fuel lines gets kicked and with the boat motion if the tank is less than half full the fuel feed is not constant, and I like the colour
If I don't find anything used it will be a new Bison air deck:
