A picture says a thousand words, please post a few. Seafarer make top notch boats. I’ve been thinking of changing up my rig for a glass boat too.

I think you need to use the full editor for picture posting and then click on the little icon that looks like a sun rising over the mountains.

Are there any fundamental concerns with 2 stroke (specifically yam 115 saltwater v4)?
I’ve heard mixed feedback but generally, the neg feedback has been from people with a preference for 4 stroke.
I have looked at a very nice Haines Sig 542F. Very clean (to my untrained eye) and has compression readings from last service of 125 even across each cylinder.

My mate bought a haines signature 540rf which only had a single axle as a tradesman who tows trailers he realised he had made a mistake and had a second axle fitted. I personally think tandem trailers are the way to go for boats around the 5.5 mt mark.
