Re: Holidays
The Cobra looks in really good nick, compared to the tinnie it will be luxury having a screen and being able to get out of the wind. My mate had a Belmont which I spent a lot of time in, solid boats.

Re: Holidays
Belmont is the same with a head or cross wind. Spray shoots forward of the bow at every usable trim angle and gets pushed up and over into the windscreen, canopy, clears or your face. It's the only real annoying fault with the Caribbean's.purple5ive wrote:How are you getting wet on a boat like this @20knots mate??bowl wrote:the walk thru to anchor is great.ratbag wrote:Always good to get on the water with kids, hopefully Lily will pick up!

There's a Belmont up bowls way with a custom wavebreaker and spray deflectors on the bow rails for this very reason

Re: Holidays
Head on ,pretty good.
Side chop the killer.
Its a,runabout n not a cabin ,so it was expected somewhat.
The front steer tinnys i tested were worse in that size range.
