Seems like I have been banging on about stock shortage for too long now and so its time to talk about batteries instead. Steve Williams has just installed an Electroprop 5kw motor powered by a pair of Torqeedo Power 26-104 batteries on Echo, and Endeavour 26. Steve sails out of…
Col Campey chose a harryproa because of the many practical advantages they offer over other multihulls, and so its no surprise that he has chosen twin Cruise 4 outboards because of the practical advantages they offer over regular petrol outboards. Col’s Rare Bird is a 50ft proa designed by Rob…

I have just one Cruise 4 Tiller long shaft motor available now. This one is converted from a Cruise 4 remote and was prepared for display at the boat show but circumstances changed and it was not shown after all. This motor is brand new and is ready to go.…
