Hi Hugz,
sorry for the late reply, here a a few shots of the Little 40 on my boat.

I have also made up a little trailer with some used child's "Wheel Chair" wheels, I liked them because they are an alloy 20" rim with stainless spokes and quick release wheels, I can put the wheels in the boat quick and easy, making it a bit tricky for someone to acquire the trailer while I'm on the water.

After the cyclone the little boat was just full of rubbish and water, so I also had a nice little cover made up from "Sunbrella" material.

Back to the motor, she runs a treat, water flows very nicely out of the tell tale, I ran her up to 5 knots on the GPS, approx. Approx 1/3 throttle opened, however I had to much outward trim on the outboard and she really dug in at the stern. So I have adjusted the outboard trim, but I have not had her back in the water due to foul weather and poor health.
Soon hopefully!

Murry do we have to be concerned about the occupant of the chair that now has no wheels?

Not at all, now no one will steal his wheel chair!
