- Xcape 4.0 vs excel volante 330 vs freesun 270. Things got slightly out of hand soon as we launched. Sam’s endless throttle jam ups, and Dave endlessly slowing progress down, add some choppy sea and this is what you get..
love your vids :)
Keep them coming :)
Thanks very much, we certainly will. Just as often as we can...
Looks like you guys are having fun. I bought a SIB + outboard the other week, and will be testing it out for the first time pretty soon, probably launching from Appledore, and breaking the engine in gradually over a couple of sessions using the torridge/tor [& possibly exmouth estuary some other time later]. Then looking forward to exploring around the local coastlines.
Nice. What did you get? You may well see us out and about in the estuary!
@@DevonFloaters I have a honwave 3.8m with a tohatsu 9.8hp. Yes may see you out there some time, though sad I won't get to see the olde Fish 180 in action. That looked amazing.
Very nice. More capable than anything any of us have! Yes we're all disappointed dave got rid of the fish, I'll pass on that another person is unhappy with him for getting rid of it 😉
Dave getting rid of the 180 is deeply disappointing. Can we petition him to get another 180? haha. keep on floating boys @@DevonFloaters
I got big rib there if u need safety boat for longer trip in summer chopper cover Baggy 👍👍
Entertaining as ever! The Dave abuse continues in earnest 👌😂.
As is only right and proper!
Agreed 👌😂
Hey guys I love your channel! I'm looking for advice! Iv just bought a 2.3 hyroforce sib it's brand new but not from a dealer but the floor is missing wich I knew about! I'm thinking of doing a ply floor ? Do you have any advice?
Not sure we're the right people to ask if you want sensible advice... best i can do is say to make sure you get the size right. And that closed cell foam is a game changer for comfort... that, and you're probably better off buying yourself the right floor for the boat!
@DevonFloaters yer i tried that but its been discontinued lol I think a plt one with foam edge protection will work ! I want it to be pack away so something removable will be good
I know when sam replaced the floor on his old avon he used the old one as a template... if you can get the dimensions somewhere you might be able to make something up. Try asking on ribnet or somewhere if you cant find the info online...
@@DevonFloaters ok thanks I appreciate that cheers
Looks like you had a great day
It was indeed a right laugh. Unfortunately the funniest bit was dave coming back through the rough stuff at the end, and he'd ran out of memory on his camera.
@@DevonFloaters always the way....
Have you seen your shoutout on OYZ in their latest vid?
Have now! Once again, shame dave got rid of the fish...
OYZ❤ thank for the shout out!
Fancy a collaboration?
What did you have in mind?
@@DevonFloaters I’m open to any ideas… i was thinking a meet up get on the water and put the boats through some comparisons/tests speed, stability, capacity, manoeuvring ect a fun day out meeting new people widening our audience and hopefully creating new friendships also.
I mean, boat reviews isnt really what we do, but you're more than welcome to join us for a mess about if ever you're in our neck of the woods. I know the lads have considered crossing the bristol channel if Sam ever gets himself a new engine...
@@DevonFloaters yeah totally I was more thinking the comical value of it all. Maybe set ourselves a few challenges like you said just a bunch of lads having a mess about on the water. I might have an engine Sam can borrow.
He has an engine, but a crossing of that size he wants a reliable 4 stroke rather than his massive johnson!
