excellent first day.

what a day woke up 5.000 am -3........loaded my beast travelled down the M5 fog or what,,
reached my destination.. Exmouth. gutted no jockey wheel light board smashed to bits,,, SBS trailers are in for some stick monday morning, @ least it missed my hull... feel sorry for car behind me,,must of hit it,

righto back to me RIB,, bloody awsome it was a nice rolling sea just past the approaches, just the way to run a new boat in loved it,, travelled 40 mile and had a grin from ear to ear..
handled the rough better than any other boat i have owned, and i did blip it here and there as per the running in recomendations, chuffin heavy on oil though. should change after 10 hrs i have been told.
did i mention how nice the weather was down there,,,,,,,,

Nice one Nuge. It's great that you're chuffed with it. They are a cracking hull. You'll be pleased with that hull/engine combo, it's the right one.

I'm thinking of having 19 and a 21. One for distance work and the other for general use or a boatfull.
