I have a 225 Opti on my Haines 635L.
It has done 850 hrs with no trouble at all. It is a great engine. Fuel enconomy is superb. I average 1.3-1.4 km/l and that is carrying 4-5 people and some big loads of diving gear. Cruise speed of around 55kph using about 37L/hr and a top speed of 85kph. They are simply a good donk. Its got me buggered why they dont get more reconition on sites such as this, instead of all this Etec crap
i just want to ask i was looking at you trailer. i see a few trailer at the moment that have no centre rollers. do you have any problem with the gelcoat cracking. speaking to a couple of fiberglass mobs.have said the strongest part of a hull is the keel the trailer that came with my boat has about 20 or so rollers up the guts with about four set of wobble rollers at the back and four sets of teflon skids to guide you onto the centre rollers. its built by easy tow. ive never had a trailer like yours.what do you think about it. i might put out a new thread and see what other people think
Cheers RB
