First dive on new boat
Well with the wind blowing fishing was canned and we went for a quick spin in the boat and a dive on the three mile .viz was good 8-10m and water was starting to get a little chilly or im getting soft We did see a nice harlie and two dhuies .great not having to pull the anchor .just push a button..The boat took four sets of dive gear and four guys 150lt of fuel and didnt even feel any different .handlels nice not as good as glass but that is the trade off i was willing to make .for the deck space.you could live at the Abrolhos for a week and be in comfort .cruising 3900rpm 21knots WOT5500rpm 36.4 knots not bad for a big boat with a load.Will get some fish next week. here are a few pics

Nice set up Paul. Money well spent I'm guessing.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
