Just got preliminary information on these cats which are soon to be introduced in Europe.

They are made in Durban, South Africa

they look like great fun and are a step forward from the rhino rib the only problem is the out board engine which is a standard one. all jet ski are jet drive
and are now toping 215 bhp which is very fast the last one i had was 145 bhp
and my face use to splat bugs like a number plate at top speed. when
playing with a jet ski you can roll them over if you did that to the above i don,t thing the engine would be to happy if any one wants one i think its still for sale in the ribs for sale section at £3500 thats a cheap fun toy over a jet ski price its got my appoval

ps - The picture of TomKat at speed was taken on the River Thames at the very first RibNet Thames cruise.

OK, so it was a but wet, and cold - but it was a great day out.

(and I had plenty of fuel!)

Pics of that trip are here

Thames Cruz

Here I am going under Tower Bridge.......

So at 3m am I the smallest RIB to take on the Thames?..... I must be mad!
