Hi

I am interested in a new 6.3 ocean pro. does any one out there have any pics or info about this one. Does any one have one I could try out?

Hello Cracker
If that is Southam (in warwickshire) why not come over and see an Ocean Pro 6.3. I have a 2003 model with suzuki 115.

It is inside in heated workshop - (certainly until 3rd January, so I can do routine servicing and ensure fully ready for 2006 season). so an evening or something would be fine.

I have had a good year cruising and the boat has some extras, electronics etc fitted. to look at /talk about etc

hello, my father and i last summer bought a humber ocean pro 6.3m, with a 140hp suzuki on back, extremely happy with it, its an awesome boat, fast, stable, economical, great! i have some pictures somewhere, ill see if i can downsize them, and get them on this thread, bear with me, its also a good priced boat, to get somthing similar of another make your pay allot more, its quite a roomy rib too with a very deep vee!

Thanks all for your thoughts. I have now ordered a 6 meter, 2.34 beam because I only have a 115hp, delivery end of march

. not the 6.3, any thought as to whether this was the right thing to do or should I back peddle

And that of course that comes from one who has had great expieriances with humbers I guess

i think the6m will be better suited to a 115hp than the 6.3, so with that engine in mind i think tyou have made the right choice! i think you would havebecome very used to the power of the 115 on the 6.3, and would desire somthing with more power quickly, so it should do well on the 6m boat! look forward to seeing the boat when it arrives!
