Hi Paul
Never met you but with your sence of humour we would get on like a house on fire.My heart sunk when I read your post,I'm glad I scrolled down to read the last bit other wise I would have burst into tears.
Nice one mate
Wayne

Tim, sorry but I couldn't resist it.

Yes the Solent/Tohatsu is an excellent hull which is very easily driven by even medium powered engines resulting in good fuel consumption figures or a very high top speed as we have seen with the original Tohatsu tests by RI and the later Solents with the 1.7 Mercruiser. If I was in the market for a 6 - 7m rib then I would be visiting Lee. Shame he has such a long waiting list, but that must say something for design.

[tim griffin]

Think he has two moulds running now to reduce waiting time am over there on Thursday will find out and let you know they are a great hull whatever the arguement as to what is what see ya

Yep they are just like the Tohatsus in the rough wnen you are loading the power on. Broken anything lately? I don't think they are the best boats out there (it's Tim Griffin that says that) but they are a good price and well made
and safe enough.
