    New Toy... For Someone

    G'day

    Was detailing down on the hardstand today at MBTBC, then this thing came in on a truck, first launch..... I'd guess it to be between 36' and 40' long, weigh next to nothing with 1400hp strapped to the rear in the fashion of 4x 350hp Yamaha 4 banger V8's. It's headed to the kimberlies. Built locally (I presume) by Woody Marine (anyone heard of them?)

    There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

    I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges

    Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)

    Garry, Maybe, I was under the impression it was new... but maybe not?

    Would you hazard a guess as to fuel economy at cruise (whatever that is)

    hi the fuel tank would have to be at least 1000ltrs because i know they use 25ltrs an hour x 4 = 100ltrs per hour at 4000rpm and 55ltrs per hour at 5500rpm x 4 = 220ltrs per hour at full stick. you would want the passengers to be paying good money to be on the ride.

    I think Woody marine make the woody marine water heaters and they build the Naiad RIB's. We have a 12' Naiad as a tender with a 30 on the back and it is one of the most seaworthy small boats I have been in
