I take it it's a nitro powered beasty. What size motor has it Martin?



I built one years ago. Was a 3' deep V offshore powerboat with a 10cc Merco. Went like the clappers and had a ton of lead in the bottom stopping it from going airbourne. Great fun but had nowhere to run her. Know if I had my RIB then I'd had taken her up Fareham creek or somewhere.

So when's the maiden voyage then?

We launched the new fleet at the marina earlier on. Unfortunately, due to engine problems (same frequency on both boats) we ended up towing the 2nd boat through the marina.

We could get all Miami Vice, or we could call out the pilots
