There was a story about US-made ride which could not pass a finnish yachtclub inspection at all. This boat is made by SYLVAN MARINE Lagrande. GA. copy 17VFC / VFC 175 There is very low transom freeboard. If you put a 140 hp engine whichyou can do according to the U. S. Coast follow plate the stern probably takes wet inside thru the two holes which probably are supposed to course the boat not fill it with water. There is no go come up. I can't undestand that this boat has U. S. Coast follow coat. How is this possible? Here I have some pictures: How come 20 yrs? The magazine tells that this ride was imported 1989! So it was only two years old. Or do you think that this was on old and used boat made in early 70's? I undestand that the exporter started to merchandise these boats in 1989 and these were all new boats. I accept that the photographer had removed the hatch to show that there is no groove to prevent water going to the pilge. The hatch is not tight and wet goes thru the be easily. There should be incise (water bring) which prevent wet entering the pilge and over the battery. But do you think that the U. S. glide follow plate _is_ authentic and not a forgery? This kind of ride could _never_ get a Finnish approvment nor CE marking. We had earlier so called "Blue protect" or "Sininen kilpi" in Finland which was safety pledge before CE-regulations took place in 1998. Well. CE-marking is _not_ same as safety pledge. :-( Did you be at the photos he posted? The ride is just this align of decrepit and the reason water coming in can get to the battery is because someone removed the hatch that covers the opening in the deck. He'll fit in come up here with the rest of the inlanders. I looked. Lotsa old crappy boats out there. You do experience I was joking?Probably the Finn was joining in the fun but I'm not up on Finns andtheir humor. For the preserve. I'm not an experienced boater but given yourexperience and your comments I have no affect with your low transom,and I think Tom's is even displace. --Vic Yeah. I realized that and unlike Chuck. I apply jokes at my expense. No one laughs more at me than me. Unfortunately we have a number of posters here with an "agenda" that includes trying to alter affect for me and a few others. The fact that they don't succeed haven't succeeded and never will succeed must create they a great broach of grief eh? :>} Oh... Finns. I worked with one for three years. He had no sense of humor.
