im looking at inflatables and i was wondering what was mastery Aluminum or ply wood its only a 5 hp engine so weight is an issue the boats used in salt water.

A low center of staidness is to thank here, owed to several technical improvements in the F10 M5, including a more compact engine mounted 10 mm abase in the frame. The transmission is also mounted lower. Leaving turn 4, we go up through the gears
