PS: Pics i attached are not Cromptons.

How the hell do they steer that Crompton. The tubes are hard up against the two outside motors?

Impressive photo's though.

Just what you need to run drugs from Morocco to Gib .... will pay for itself in 1 run!

Unfortunately all the big fast drug run boats have been banned now - apparently the Spanish were whinging again!!!

Gib police have some nice big 10m ribs with 2x 225 mercs fitted(will post some pics soon) - also found this link about them having a Redbay but that was in 1999 - didn't see it when i was last there.

Love Gib - really great place and the people are SO friendly if you are a Brit. The spanish HATE Gib with a vengance - no road signs - not marked on maps - even the dialling code is screwed so if you are in Spain with a mobile you can NOT dial the Gibralter dialling code - you have to use a special Spanish one instead that is hard to find!!!

A one-off built, but which could give you some ideas !

codprawn · 10 April 2005, 12:19

That rib is a cheat - look how high the tubes are out of the water - they are only there to act as fenders!!!

I think this one is a bit of a humdinger.

The last picture is from Goteborg Sweden, before we head home to Norway, the other pictures is from your home port Hustadvika in Norway!

The yellow boat on the picture is a small Revenger 29
