If you ever fancy getting over to Ireland, here's some of what you can enjoy. We went out last weekend for the Club Powerboat.ie end of season meet on Lough Derg.

Nice piccy's Kris - looks like you had some fun. I shall hopefully put up some pictures from the four day CMBA Falmouth Rally that I got back from yesterday. We had calm conditions & sunny weather - fabulous!
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

I'll have to correct you for fear the owner ever reads this ...it's a Thundercat - I'm told there's a difference
And he didn't go upside down on it - he has mastered the art of handling it.

Re: Lough Derg, Southern Ireland
