In the course of teaching powerboating I get to use some really nice boats, thought I would share a selection of them with you all.

Finnmaster T7.
It has a double berth in the bow area, heads, sink, & fridge.

Nice...

I quite like the Finnmaster... they look a lot nicer when all the tent material is taken down... :lol: :lol: it's a tidy weekender for two.

That Cougar R8 on the other hand....well....the hull on that is pure twin stepped race porn from the sport racer Honda four stroke racing series!!!is that a 225 on the transom?

I'd say it had been retubed by Honwave but either way, id love to get my grubby mitts on that for a few hours off St Albans Head in some lumpy stuff... :drive :drive :drive :drive
If it has t*ts, tyres or floats......it's gonna cost ya!

I agree the tent material spoils the looks of the Finnmaster T7
