On Sunday there were a few tinnies of around 4 metres, including one that had a 15hp on the back.
Well Wolly there's no one stopping u, or those that did it, but there's no way I'd chance the rip in a 4.0 with a 15hp, nor would i recommend it to anyone. When the tide is running you could be drifting up to 8 knots (guess) , and with depth changing from 60m to 15M in an instant waves can appear from nowehere if your timing was wrong.

Tell that to the guy who was there in the 3m tuff tender solo and in a tiller steer.
i seen about 4 craft that i know that my poly can easily outhandle and even then i wouldnt do it.
but then again we were in a 4.8 polycraft and was no problem wat so ever.
