That is absolutely astonishing - I cant believe how faded that Mobil sign is.

that chap cruises at about 5knots every where,

but the other two have 75hp tiller Yammies on them and fly. 

last nights one was even more loaded, close to 35 on a 25foot banana boat!

 

We use a 27foot banana boat here at times, it's got a 250hp suziki on it and the sister boat a 225hp Honda

I'll put up some more pics later
