hi
just after any advice/experiences with the zodiac futura with the speed tubes under the main tubes?
I have a bombard commando C2 (3.5m max 25hp) with a fold out wooden keel under the aluminium floor boards. It gives a very solid base for a SIB.
I have to have a sib for storage purposes but am looking for a boat that i can put a bigger motor on, 40hp, as i think this is the max for being able to "handle" the engine out the water.
The C2 commando wouldnt plane with 4 adults and 2 small children on board, so am looking for a bigger boat.
The future 3.8m is max rated to 40hp but not sure about the speed tubes.
beaching it looks like it would damage them.
I use the boat to follow a tidal river wave (The severn bore, Gloucester, England) so has to go in rough choppy wavy water.
Also would an inflatable keel on a boat the same length as my 3.5m offer more buoyancy and help the boat plane better?
any experiences of boat present and past or advice welcome.
Thanks
