    Has anyone experience of the O’Sullivan’s Marine OSM 510 Skellig?
    Just retired and hope to potter around the coast with the grandkids fishing and watching wildlife.
    I have a chance of a good deal on the 510 with a 20hp engine but am very inexperienced. I would appreciate feedback. Thanks

    I had a similar one many moons ago, good strong safe boat mine was a bit heavy 70's fibreglass :) I'm sure the newer ones are lighter.

    Thanks Fergal
    It’s not a fast boat due to the displacement hull - was that ever an issue for you?

    No problem the 20hp will push you along just fine, it was a bit off putting being last to the fishing grounds in competitions and last back to the harbour :(
