Very cool video. What speed did you reach?

Great video Roy, seems Heidi got the shakes a bit. Where is the wakeboarding??

Alex the full video is on this thread http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12089

Its much lower quality as it was much longer.

Sorry about the video of your boat - as you swung round behind us - i grabbed the lens cap which was flapping around and accidentally hit the stop button - shame really as that stuff of you s bending across my wake really looked good silhouetted against the sun.

My boat maxes out at 40 knots. Which was about what I was doing in the clip running from right to left at the end.

Silver Fern with its twin "Warp Drives" - is much faster.

Not bad and looks like a nicely balanced boat - makes for a more stable camera platform than Silver Fern - or is that down to technique????

Errr...... you've put me in a tight spot now !!!!!

Do I blame it on alex's boat or his missus (who was doing the filming)

Help

Blame the missus

Not much feedback lately on that boat of yours and those engines - or have you just been having too much fun with it?

To think it probably costs about the same as a CZ7 - wonder which I would prefer?????

What sort of feedback do you want. The boat is great, the engines are a perfect match. Consumption is about 3litres per mile average and that is running right through the rev range.

Protectors make the perfect rib, plenty of shelter if you need it, open air if you want it, and a loo for the ladies. Perfection

(in my opinion)

Couldn't agree more. You can still walk around the deck - you have the protection - and most important it's still a proper RIB!!!

Only other thing in the same sort of style are the shearwater range.

What is top end - what's acceleration like and how does she perform in big waves - also how soft are the landings and etc etc etc!!!

Oh and somewhere to sleep at night when she sees this thread.
