But if Scotland gets independence, then who knows.

What's the difference between the F rib 360 (62kg) and Winboats 360 (48kg) that makes the 360 F rib 14kg heavier than its counterpart?

And exactly why do you bring independence into this debate??!!

The F-Rib 360 is 48kg as is the Winboat, same boat. There must be an error somewhere.

1) It was a humorous response to Biggy's post pertaining to Yorkshire being mistaken for a Country. The smillie shows that it was an attempt at humor.

2) When did this tread become a debate?

3) Get over it, your fellow countrymen voted to stay in the Union, and Yorkshire won't become a Sovereign State.

Firstly I only asked a question to its relevance to the content

Secondly the smilie you used was angel not smile therefore different emotion and intent.

Thirdly you yourself introduced the debate re Yorkshire.

I therefore don't need to get over anything thanks very much.

Merry Xmas

Phil, did you get to test your boat? Could you please video tape when you either put it together in your home or by the water. We are dieing to see it in someones hands who participates here. Thank you. Would love your dealer to come and chime in here also our current setup. We want to replace these with winboats in the near future.

Back injury and a virus has put me out of condition but now I am back in the land of the living. I have just fitted the wheels and need to made a couple of mods to suit me. I hoped to be out before xmas but that will not happen and I am away for a week over the New Year so I hope to get her on the water shortly afterwards.

I am useless with a computer and as to video------------------you are way above me on that one but I will try to get a friend to help out and put something together. Oh, what am I letting myself in for here.

Ok so guys i found a new foldable rib online and much cheaper then frib. Would love all of your opinions on it

There is another one here

I have to say that the principle looks very similar but the tubes look really cheap and nasty with that awful shine to them that you get from the ' holiday ' inflatables. Makes you wonder if the the hull design has been copied. I have paid my money and bought the Frib because I believe the build quality is there, looking at these other youtubes, I am sure I made the right choice.

I wonder if the difference is how PVC looks as opposed to how Hyperlon looks

On the other hand the this new knockoff does look to have a smaller interior

[weimed]

I am not sure. I know the knockoff weight dry is 165lbs which is insane compared to a 90lb frib from winboats. Performance does mind boggle me through. The 2 different V shaped hulls make me think. Anyone can tell us which shape is better for performance?

[philpot]

No idea guys. Hyperlon will be heavier but as to hull design and which is better ????

Phil

[prairie tuber]

Both claim to use hypalon tubes.
