Jono,

Nice one. I like the concept of those boats. Shame they don't seem to be liked that much amongst the RIB community..
Is that a cabin in the bow ?

NR.

i have always wanted one of these! i know they are not liked by some but if you took that 130 off and stuck a 150 opti on i reckon it would be good.

theres no doubt the hull is a gooden but maybe the colour and framework is an aquired taste

I think a Honda 200hp will be going on the back. With over 500l of built in fuel tank, a bow locker to get 20 illegal immigrants in, some cover from up above
and a frame to put the roof tent on I though it would be a great cruising machine.

More pics to follow.

So, to take that thing down, do you fire up the 90, stamp on the loud pedal and it disappears down the snorkel?

Are you alluding to this Jono guy being a bit of a connoisseur of fine pies?

Very nice, and very distinctive too
