Chris, Great...loved the Honwave but the Warrior is a different class
Obviously a lot more expensive to buy and run than the Honda T38 but...
Annual mooring fee is £1,900.00, plus boat and trailer was £21,000.00
Easy access via Brighton Marina, I can go out at any tide or time, some weekends the tide wasnt right for launching the Honwave
Had a floating Tetradoack dock installed so I dont need antifouling (some pictures added)
Launching problems are gone, easy to drive on and off.
Grey Goose (Warrior 165) is fine in sea conditions I wouldn't like in the Honwave
Boat fishes well with 3 fishing in the boat. Plenty of room to move around, comfy seat, no bum and leg cramps.
Room to handle larger fish, we had a lot of small conger (5) off Kingsmere Reef yesterday, most around 3 ft with teeth.
Being able to walk around and stand up and pave plenty of storage is lovely.
Now the 70hp Honda engine is in second stage run in I can go to full power for five mins at a time.
Full power 5,500 revs she does 34 mph, but at 4,500 she is at 25 mph and on the plane, so 3/4 hour to get out to Littlehampton from Brighton (15 miles).
Yesterday we fished 3 locations: SS Penryth, Kingsmere Reef and Billy Boy all on one tank of fuel so not too expensive.
So a lot of money but I dont regret spending it, I,m in my 60s and beach launching was very hard.
Looking forward to targeting larger fish now we have capability of getting out to some wrecks of Brighton.
Phil
