The Suzuki comes out as best buy but reading the test review is not convincing.
I think the Mariner is a better machine being smoother & quieter

Now home following stops to rest. Thank you Peter for arranging another successful meet. Sorry I couldn't say goodbye to everyone but didn't think you'd appreciate this cold.

Get well soon Joyce.

I've chosen this 3.5hp at 17kg same weight as it's 2.5 hp version

Last time we were at Pugneys Andy boats with Motors werent allowed on the water. It may have changed but others can answer that.

Thanks 

Ready for the off after an enjoyable week here as newbies with the Motorhomes. Many thanks to Peter, Pauline and crew for their efforts. Hope to meet you all again on a rally somewhere.
Pauline & Mike.

Just like to thank Peter and Pauline and helpers for a fabulous meet and for all the hard work in organising the social activities. Good to meet up with motor-homers again. The weather was fantastic and the site as always superb.
See you all soon

Home again after a brief weekend visit to Wilsthorpe.
 Great weather and great company. Thanks to Peter and Pauline for organising and everyone else who helped make it a successful meet.
See you all in September

Yamaha every time Andy ---look what the professionals use!

Thanks to everyone who attended the meet and made it the success it was
Thank you all for your kind comments , cards and gifts

We would like to add our thanks to Peter and everyone - have really enjoyed ourselves. Brian and Carol

Glad you've all enjoyed yourselves...we couldn't attend as we're only just back from 8 weeks in S of F, and had to attack the jungle that used to be our garden, as well as clean the van etc..

Thanks Pete I was coming to that conclusion too but now I'm swayed to a sit on kayak as a more practical option. So the next step is to choose a good one followed by a project around roof mounting it

Big Thankyou To Pete Pauline And All Your Helpers, Great Meet Fantastic Location And A Very Warm Welcome On Our First Meet With You, Looking Forward To The Next One
Sue & Eric

Although a bit late in the day, Rita and I would like to add our thanks also to Pete, Pauline, and the rest of the gang of helpers, for a very enjoyable time at Bridlington.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the company that we were in, old and new. 

We hope to see you all again, sometime soon.

Cheers for now,

Jock & Rita.
