Thanks for compliments. As almost always, the boat looks better in the pictures as it currently stands.
About the trailer: I rented that trailer just to transport the boat. I'm not sure yet if I'm gonna buy one, because those are pretty expensive. I need to say, that all equipment are more expensive here than in states. We had some bad luck with that trailer. After we had the boat on the trailer and we were on a half way to harbour in Stockholm I noticed some strange noise. It was the wheel bearing. After that we drove 10-20 mph and luckily got to the ferry and back to Helsinki alive. Anyway, I'm not sure if I like those rollers, but they are useful to fit all kind of boats and hull shapes on the trailer.
Power plant: It's an outboard model, but there's no engine at the moment. My plan is to repower with a decent ~150 hp engine and I have been looking for a used one, but there haven't been many decent ones available on 130-200 hp range. So now I'm negotiating a deal about a new 150 hp Optimax XS (trading in my old boat)! :)
