G'day guys thanks for all the replys. You know that song "you don't know what you've got till its gone" well I sold my fully restored Stingray and now I miss having a family boat. I have the big beach wheels. I really should get a F16 but I'm too heavy especially when my mates get on for a blast. I thought hard on a 5.7 but I find theres not much tramp room and a bit harder for novice crew, alot of the time It will be me with my 10yo daughter or my wife or all 4 kids. I found the 5.8 sooooo sweet even with my wife sitting in, I'll try the fulcrum way to get the wheels under tommorrow.
regards
