    Inflatable toys for days anchored at the beach and for swimming

    First Boat - Help Needed - I Think I Want This....

    Redbays are great boats! less common that the "pretty" ribs but they have a market and they are very good, just look at some of the boats they have produced and how they are used.. You say your not concerned too much about speed but be careful in being underpowered. A boat like that, you are...

    First Boat - Help Needed - I Think I Want This....

    Interesting looking boat that, i have only very limited experience of Carson Interceptors but that was a similar sized jet drive boat many years ago. Pretty well go through anything that and the outboards are about right but i am not convinced that is going to hit 40 Kts with twin 200 HP...

    The whole project looks amazing John, attention to detail as expected is astonishing! love seeing this come together. I maybe way off the mark but didn't Ribeye buy the old Revenger moulds and rights with them, using them for the larger Prime range? Great to hear that the traditional cottage...

    Scorpion rib refurbishment

    Lovely work. I am a big fan of scorpions, we have had 2 and hands down the best ribs we have owned. The 7.5 was beautifully balanced, we had a 225 Optimax, an absolute pleasure And the bark when driving it hard in big seas was just so infectious! Giovanni is a master craftsman, having seen...

    Med boaters - will you get to your boat this year?

    The ones around the needles were far too good for me! Done by Andrew Adams of Parker Adams brokerage. the mini 3 does have active track and as you say, much smoother than i could ever do. I am learning,… less is more and lots of shorts to make up a video. The hardest bit is landing… landing...
