Hi, I've just joined and have a 2005 1800 SR3 with a Merc 4.3.

I use it on an estuary in Devon for skiing and also on Lake Bourget in the alps in France. Been well looked after and it serves us very well. I run super 98 unleaded in it with a High Five prop and it goes beautifully with plenty of smooth power.

I'm looking to add to the covers I have and want the rear camper cover and side windows. I understand Letas has the patterns for these.

I'm also considering fitting Captains Call switched side exhausts for the hell of it and for the noise.

Jonny

Welcome Jonny. Leta's will be cheaper and you will be responsible for putting in the snaps both on the canvas and your boat. Plus you might not get your camper back end because they didn't get that from the factory . I would find a local canvas shop and get them to give you a quote for what you want on your new toy.

Let us know how this works for you.

Good luck

Roger

Not sure about the UK but over on this side of the pond EVERYONE hates the side exhaust except the douche that can not hear it from the helm. Don't do it.

Thanks everyone. Letas website isn't responding today but I'll keep trying. Thanks also for the heads up about the exhausts.

I'll report back with progress on these camping covers.
