Hi New Member in Kent

Hi all.
I am now the proud owner of a very smart 2008 blue Valiant V490 with a Mariner 60hp efi outboard strapped to the back.
Itching to get out on the water and have so far booked a holiday to Dartmouth early July.
Hope to meet up at sometime with other Ribnet members !!
Cheers,
Steve Walker

Hi Jeff, im not really sure on pontoons as i usually launch from Totnes further up the river. I know Dartmouth is expensive to do anything, especially in the summer months.

Totnes is ok but you can only launch +- 3 hours of high water but it is a very nice trip down to dartmouth, aprox 10 miles and a few pubs along the way!

there is a place called Blackness Marine on the Dart, they do storage etc but not sure what they cost. They are nearer Dartmouth and not so dependant on tides. I am only a short drive from Dartmouth so have never needed a pontoon as i take the boat home.
