Looks superb Alex. You and your family are going to have an excellent season in Silver Fern I'm sure.

Is the helm adjustable?

OK here goes,


Top speed = 50 knots (if the wife is at home)

Fuel economy = dare not look

Solent = I will be coming up for the fleet review as I am a marshall boat, and will be staying at Port Solent.

Excellent news. Having seen another top class cabin RIB at the weekend we like the idea of the extra comfort on longer trips.

May you have loads of fun in Silver Fern .

Thank you Alex I feel better now. If such a monster RIB can have comfy seats cupholders etc maybe my new purchase is a small step towards a fine craft like Silver Fern. I'll show your pictures to the Mrs and see if I can persuade her that we need one yours next. ( if anyone doesn't know what I'm rambling about see the "Confession" thread.
