An Idiot, maybe, Yeah, but we've all done it. I got 20 km out once and realised my bungs were out, quick thinking and my dual bilge pumps saved us, just.
Yes, should have had his pdf on.
Bilge pump , well if you leave your bungs out and expect your bilge pump to keep up with the water coming in, when your stationary, I got news for you, cause most wont.
I think we could all label this guy an Idiot and he probably was, but it's not really the thing to do in my opinion.
Chinese made boats, I know of one that has just been shipped over, a custom job and the quality is second to none.
Not all boats coming out of china are crap, as Bowl said, plenty of crap stuff being produced here locally.....

Hi Frozen, Not yet !!!!!.
It's ready for the full re wire, then new Canopy and tank, then it's done.
Well, I should quantify that by saying, then it's ready for the new engine.
I've fitted off everything electrical, so to speak, just have to get time to actually run the wires.
Life just keeps getting in the way, Can't believe how long it's been off the water, but it is looking good, I must admit.....
Should be searching for a deal on a 4 stroke early next year..........
