LOL! Yeah, fuel becomes an issue with boats, especially with petrol engines! What size engine have you got?

The Fleming holds about 1,000 gallons of diesel, that's over 3 tonnes and we get max economy of just under 2 nautical miles per gallon cruising at around 8/9 knots which is about the natural hull speed. At 15 knots the consumption goes up 3 or 4 fold! :eek:

It's got a mercruiser 5.0 v6...believe it or not the reason i went for this particuar boat over the bigger models, still does a not bad turn of speed, is comfy, looks good and is only a year old

I did look at a Cruisers Rouge but with twin 7.4 V8's, and only an extra 6 foot in length, same price and 7 years old is was never going to justify itself lol....having said that, it does do 65mph on water and sleeps 8! :eek:

Watersports eh;):D

I do participate as it happens.
I teach sailing, windsurfing and powerboating, mostly during the summer months.
This time of year though, I windsurf - does this count as 'boating'? Anyway, same idea:D

I also work in a powerboat shop:)

My parents are into canal boating as well, and they sail during the summer, mostly around Scotland.

Franx, do you know if you can get something to attach to the back of mine to make it suitable for wakeboarding as i feel the ski eye is far too low!?

I don't, but I shall find out for you tomorrow. Me boss does the wakeboarding n' skiing side of things:)
Isn't a 26 footer a bit big for wakeboarding?
What boat is it anyway?

It's a searay 240 sundancer, there is a pic of it on page 1, i thought it would be a bit big so thought i would ask

My mates seadoo jet boat usually does the honours but would like to know if it's possible to do it with mine :)
