Nice one, but how did Santa squeeze it down the chimney

I suppose you will now have to change your user name

It looks a cool wee boat. I like things which are a bit different.

He didn't need to deflate them! It was leaking air like a sieve!
I cleaned the valves & it is now staying up quite well.

My user name is because of my Jeep. The jeep used to be a 413 but I put a Vitara engine (hence 416) in it & have done many other mods to it as well.
I have four sports I'm very active in. Scuba Diving, Rock climbing, Off road driving, & Snowboarding.

Now I'll add RIB Driving to the list.

I bought it as a way of learning boat handeling skills, boat maintenance, & all the other things that you pick up with owning a boat. (steep learning curve)
I did my RYA level 2 in March but want to progress further up the ladder just for my piece of mind.

Pete

Hi Suzuki 416, you should have a look at an Icelandic website for "Jeepīs" www.f4x4.is where you will find what we Icelanders do with our four wheel drive vehicles, most of the website has English version. Do have a look and I am sure you will learn quite a few interested things you be able to use in your Suzuki.

Bogib,

good site!
I've had my jeep for 3 years now & have a 'few modifications' to it & this is me playing!
Changes made are to engine, wheels, axles, transfer case, suspension, rear locker, rear disc brakes, armour, snorkel, winch roll cage, harnesses, etc, etc.
I've seen a picture of an Icelandic Suzuki 410 with 44 inch tyres on! - mine are only 31's - standard are 26!



Matiboy,
It does get on the plane quite quickly!
no idea how fast yet though.
I don't have a clue about the type of hull design on my boat - does anyone!

Bogib,

So a little bit of fender removal was needed!!!
I like the 'after' vehicle.

"The only differnece between men and boys is the price of their toys."
That explains the super puffy Santa's bag I saw the other day.
Wish you nice trips with your new toy.
