yes mate no what you mean
my mate had the 21 ft a few years ago with 2x50 hp hondas ,he would go 50-60 miles wrecking in winds upto a force 6 ,he would go out when the big charters boats would cancel
then he sold it and got ian dobsons sea vixon a south 26 and wish he had kept the cheetah after all the trouble he had with the south 26 and its engine and getting swamped 40 miles out in a force 5 he filled the cockpit up almost to gunnals

my mate said he sold sea vixon to buy a cygnus cyclone 26 so he couldn't have been to impressed with the south 26

He must have had a fair bit of confidence in the boat cause he used to get it out in some terrible weather Dont think Ian bought another boat, he took up carp fishing..prob safer! ian did go out in some bad wether have a look at this pic is in general fish number 4 top right hand courner think this is sea vixon 3 www.vofish-iow.co.uk/homeflash.html |

my mate said the south 26 was a good sea boat but not as good as the cheetah ,when he swamped it ,it was wind overtide ( big tide and a force 6 wind ) and he said he really shouldn't have out there
he main thing with the boat is the engine it was ment to of had a full rebuild but who ever done it just bodged it and he has had nothing but trouble with it
