Probably too much like a Jet Ski so not likely to get too many responses.

But a bit of info below

Aquaquad

AquaQuad UTE 14 | Aqua Quads | Rubberducks & Inflatables



Looks like fun to me anyway, Good luck

Some Members / Supporters have to feel superior to you because they have very shallow lifes, you will have noticed that once one makes a totally useless comment then another soon follows, sadly it happens all too often on this forum

Sorry I could not be more helpfull re your Aquaquad just be thankful that you did not ask about a Brig, Bill Higham Marine etc, etc, etc....... they take great pleasure and have a 'pack mentality' if you do not fit into their little boxes or dare to be a little different to the norm.

Having said all that there are some very helpfull people on here who do not feel the need to belittle you or your purchase whatever that is, it just takes a while to suss them out, and will if possible offer advice / opinions good or bad.

Again Good luck with the Aquaquad it looks good fun to me anyway

To be fair to ashbypower I think he was referring to your post title being used as the text box - where you ran out of characters so the title wasn't too clear.

However that said I would imagine that boat is something not too well known on here, but looks to be fun! Enjoy it.

Hi Leonard - welcome to RIBnet. I can't see where you asked a question in your original post. In fact, you posted a similar thread elsewhere on the forum and didn't ask anything there either. I think ashbypower's "whoops" comment MAY have been in reference to this, not what you bought.

Do you want to get the general opinion of the forum members in regard to your recent purchase or do you have a specific query? If the first, then tonymac has answered as best he can - he's a little special. The other guys seem to like it, so be happy. I'll withhold my opinion until you reveal what it is you want to know. If you want a general opinion then you will get a more focused response if you tell people what you want to use it for, and possibly what your previous experience is (as it can be a factor in formulating a reply)

Lee and Bartiny have been a bit unhappy with RIBNet lately. Luckily they've managed to bear it enough to stick around on a daily basis and Lee certainly is getting value out of his "Look at my new SuperRIB" thread - so he must like us just a teeny bit

Correct where did I say "Whoops poor choice" or the like?? No where!!
Comment was purely on the error in using the title ...

Leonard, it's not clear from your original message whether you were asking a question. Is there something we might be able to help with?
