Hi Chris, Welcome aboard.
The Honwaves are very popular and owned by many of the forum guys.
Where’s your local launch?

Enjoy the forum

Nowhere lol. I have had a new sib... Takracat 380lx for two months now and still waiting for my new engine.... Tohatsu 20hp.
When it finally arrives most on my trips will be from Puffin island to the other end of the menai straits, as that's where my Caravan is.

Hi @Chris, welcome to the forum. Nice rig you have there. :thumbsup

Interested in how you’re finding the Orca motor. Impressive looking spec. extracting so many horses out of a 362cc twin.
