I see you live in London Seafox.

A couple of us keep ribs on the tidal Thames.

Where's your boat?

codprawn · 01 June 2007, 20:28

Fantastic boat you have there - take it you brought it over from NZ with you?

Hi Sea Fox, welcome over to this side of the world.

what engines do you have on the protector. They look like an awesome boat. There was one in Rib Intl last issue, looks like its gone now.

I do like them I must say. You should go on the rib run to Ireland soon.
