Loved my E, and jealous of those of you who still have them, but thought I'd show you what you can do with the proceeds
Here's a link to it cruising at 25 mph (22 knots to sailors). Round the coast where it was a little less choppy, we hit 36 mph. On sea trials in the Solent we hit 45 mph. Quite fun!

Your proceeds won't go far when you check your mpg...or should I say gallons/mile

for anyone that complains of E type ownership costs they should try haveing a boat or as a mate calls it "big hole in the water that you throw money into"

Quite right, although this latest engine is not bad. At the speed we were going in the clip it returns 4.5 mpg.
