[jewytim]

well i have a 4.3m quintrex mk11 wood floor and an 8hp yamaha i dont know if it gets up to 10 knotts and if not i can save on rego and a license per year what do you guys think???

The "capable of 10 knots" speed is the issue, not the size of motor IMO.

Tim,

Remind me to bring my GPS next time we go out and we can test it. Given the number of fish you are catching lately, the boat would be flat out making 5 knots on the way home

Correct me if im wrong, but I though the licence rule was that you could not drive a boat at a speed greater than 10 Knots without one, but it was irrelavent whether or not it was capable of doing 10 Knots or more. I could be wrong though.

Will the boat plane? If it does it's capable of 10 knots and you'll need to register it and hold a license.

Not true. You can drive any boat you like without a licence providing you don't go over 10knots.

Your absolutley right Bash, as long as you don't exceed 10 knotts you don't need a licence regardless of how fast the boat is capable of. I'n not sure about the registration side though
