the boat has been out all winter and is now been taken up too put on some new antifouling and other maintaince

Great photos - just love them!!!!

Proof though that unless you need to carry lots of passengers the console should be as far forward as possible to try to counteract the weight of the engines!!!

Seems to me most ribs are too stern heavy!!!

codprawn, to get enough action for the passangers riding with us we need to have them in front of the boat.

500 kg on the back of the rib and a total weight of 1400 kg of the rib and engines the bow will go up like on the pictures.

the black rib unlimited 36 feet goes very flat out of normal waves even without passangers and it has twin heavy diesel engines.
But in 5-6 meters waves like these pictures where taken the bow would go up anyway.

Picture no 2 ( top row, middle col ) is unreal.

The rest are tame ( rettferdig kidding )

I know that - that is why I said "unless you carry lots of passengers"!!!

The 36' boat is awesome - I DID notice from the pics it stays very flat - most impressive - please hurry up and do a nice big video we can all download!!!
