9. Orkney Strikeliner 16+ Now afloat! Tour of the boat at anchor in Wareham Channel, Poole Harbour.
After several months of hard work in the boatyard, Lady Wimborne is now newly renovated, seaworthy again and ready to be used out on the water. One of the first test runs is a short 6 mile round trip up the Wareham Channel and back. It’s a beautiful sunny day and I drop the anchor just off Arne in Poole Harbour and give a quick tour of the boat. There’s a fair bit of wash as water ski and wake boarders are being towed around nearby. This is the area of Poole Harbour where water skiing and wakeboarding is allowed in the designated area.

Hi George, The rail came with the boat when I bought it so I’m afraid I’ve no idea where it’s from. Matt

Hi, The boat came with an 11 x 9 prop but I could only get about 4800rpm at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) and a top speed of 12 knots with just me on board. I swapped it for a slightly larger diameter 9.8 x 9 prop. So that’s 0.8 inches extra diameter but 2 inches less pitch. Now I get 5800-5900 rpm at WOT and that’s nicely within the 5000-6000rpm range the outboard manual says you need. The highest speed I’ve had is 15-16 Knots with just me on board. The 25hp is a 3 cylinder so will produce more torque than a 2 cylinder 20hp so I’d say yours might need a slightly smaller diameter prop than mine. You could try a 9 x 9 perhaps. Getting the outboard into the correct rev range is most important as the top speed varies so much depending on weight, weight distribution, wind and tide. With 4 people on board I only get 6 knots and yesterday I went out on my own and only got 14 knots as there was a bit of wind. I generally cruise around at 4000rpm which gives me about 8 knots on my own or 6 knots with 4 people on board. Hope this helps, Matt
