Hello all,Has anyone any dealings with the company Barnet Marine Centre Ltd are they any good,also has any recomendations on the sunsport range of inflatables http://www.ribs.co.uk/generic/docs/b...st_1-01-10.pdf ,as i am thinking its time for the seago and the 6hp to go,Its time for a bigger boat possibly a (al360 and a f20 hp outboard package is this any good your thoughts would be great,cheers people.

Not quite a boat but I got my console off Laurence and he was very helpful.
I think a couple of members have XS Ribs and all seem happy with them.

I would love something bigger but as i have no off street parking and no towbar its only a sib for me.I have about 3k to spend any recomendations would be good.

Barnet marine have been in the business for a long time and now a thing our two about RiBs and inflatables, speak to either Laurence or Martin, you'll get good service.

if i wanted to spend 3k on a sib it would be that old favourite, the Bombard 380 aerotec and a 15 hp 2 stroke engine.

you ever tried to carry a f20 any distance!

i recon that they have been in the inflatable boat buisness at least since the late 1970s know they used to supply a lot of diving clubs with inflatable boats /trailers before r.i.bs were popular .,Astra you have the same problem as me i dont have any off street parking now ,i have a massive back garden but no access to it ,,it never bothered me in the past as i rented a large yard and building just over my garden wall to keep my boats in ,, i once stored a brand new atlantic 75 lifeboat and even kept a mersey class lifeboat there overnight once , but the owner ,,needed the buildings back after 25 years,, so when i use my s.i.b it now has to go through a 3 foot wide passageway between the houses ,,including the trailer which has a small jocky wheel on the side so i can stand it up and wheel it through into the street ,

Yes i no it sucks but at least you have a tow bar,can anyone comment on the top speed of the al360 with a 20hp outboard and will it be capable of towing a ringo,Many thanks for the help already.
