East Coast Rivers

Nice day out on the Sunday of East Coast Rivers for a run to Southwold.
Very Very calm, which was good but dissapointing for Jools who had heard us talk so much about how rough it can get!

A few pics:

Southwold.

Its an Ocean 8.5m powered by by a 240hp Yamaha / Hydradrive, and yes its a very nice boat. Owned by a chap called Barry who has yet to discover the delights of RIB.net She has a 2 berth cabin under the console and is a very solid and comfortable ride.

Cheers,
Alan

I dont have any but I think if you check out Jool's website www.ribpanther.co.uk and look at his BIBOA Easter cruise report gallery you'll find some more.

For example:

http://www.ribpanther.co.uk/BIBOA_Ea...s/Image27.html

With all acknowledgement for photos going to Jools in this case!


(I don't have any from ECR 'cos I was onboard her at the time!)

Not many features along the coast - so when you find one you have to take a pick......

and one for Kieth.... - I bet he could sleep under that bow!!

Cheers

Mini SIB

I am looking for something like the above mini SIB, used but in good condition. Something NOT expensive. Has anybody something in mind ?

Looks like an Avon Redcrest or Redstart. Been around for years so should be loads around second hand.

I bought a Yam 265 with Yamaha Malta of Ebay last year you can get anything from an old dog to something brand new!
By the way how dose your Malta cope as an auxiliary with your boat as I’m thinking of using mine on my 5.75 Osprey! But I do not want to go to the expense of buying a bracket only to find out that it will not push the boat!
I could put it on the transom but this would mean cutting away part of the wash deflector! Also I do not know if this will get the prop low enough!
