Mine is a Veron Typon cabin cruiser got in 1979. Had a lot of trouble with it thinking motor and shaft was missalined but it was underpowered. Now have an electric motor in it. (changed from i.c.) Again that took some sussing out and has a Graupner 600 in it which is amply enough power for the job. I have went electric for good now and find it easier than i.c. Not that I have anything against i.c. but electric technology has move forward in the last decade and I lean more to scale boats now. I also like to point out that it takes a lot more power to push a Deep Vee Hull throu the water than a Planning Hull and this was part of the problem I didn't realise. One learns slowly and costly at times..
