JD's Fairline Targa 37

We will try recording our trip from preparation of our boat to travel from Lowestoft east coast to Southampton south coast UK and the following visits to the location in that area.
Starting with jobs in the boat to do before leaving.
Good luck to us on this 240 mile journey by sea. Please subscribe to help us with this.

    We have exactly the same, the only issue I have found with ours is that if I leave the battery it will self-discharge over a period of about 14 days - I have never found out whether it is supposed to do this or not and E-Prop never answered my question regarding this - otherwise, it is a great motor and we use it in conjunction to a new lightweight tender that we purchased last year. We also bought ours second hand with a 3G tender from a great couple who keep their boat at Brundall. The tender was a little small for us and we sold that way too cheaply to a cruising sailor, but cant fault the motor - and yes - they are on the market second hand and are much better than the new price! Apparently the battery floats! Haven't quite felt necessary to test that! A great purchase - you wont be disappointed. The best bit is that the motor itself isn't that heavy and you can get it on the transom securely alot easier than an outboard and you aren't having to carry petrol.

Meanwhile there are problems at Mutford and only very limited opening times, Yarmouth still isn't operational (Either Bridge) and there is sooo much weed that venturing off the main rivers is a gamble so, altogether, that 13.8% toll rise has been well worth us coming back to the Broads this year... ;) Bet you wished you stayed hey?

    It was just before the fuel went bonkers so timed it right really. But lorry was circa £3000. And adventure would have been missed. The speed I was doing was actually not ideal but I had limited time in open water before the trip. So could compare different burn rates with different speed. It was out of super charger but feel now I would have gone a touch faster to bring nose down slightly but we live and learn. I would have also spent more time at the key points. Really didn't back off much at all. Also had to stand to look out for fishing and lobster pots. Was defo long day. Eastbourne stop for fuel if later in the day would have been nice place to rest, but was there at mid day haha thanks for watching
