He has just bought it, 8 seats, a 5ltr Hemi engine and none of us have even the slightest clue how to launch it or get it back out of the water for one thing.
Should be good for a giggle .......
So if your in and around Poole / Mudeford / Christchurch this weekend watch out

I hope your mate has some experience of handling one of these things or even passed his/her test! ![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I love powerboats, used to have one for skiing, in fact most things with an engine really but it is vital someone knows how to do it properly and safely.
I really like Poole and the surrounding areas. we found it important to stick to the channel between Poole and Swanage as we wandered outside it and lost around 20% of the props surface area when we hit something under the water at low tide!

Didnt have to call the RNLI but did have a little chat with the harbour master....apparently our speed near Ski alley equated to doing 90 in a 30 ...... Best wait for the naughty boy envelope to appear through the post, good job I wasnt driving.
