Humber re-tube for boat left on mooring...

[chewy]

Has any one had a retube by Humber.
I'm looking at getting them to do my SR5.4 for two reasons:

First and most important is that they're only 75 miles from my house,
Second, they have provided the cheapest quote so far.

I've been on a few Humbers and the quality seems good enough.

I'm going to be leaving my RIB on a mooring all year and it'll dry out on sand during the summer and mud/rocks during winter.
Should I go for Heavy duty tubes or get normal tubes with protection on?

I'll also need some sort of fairlead, I like the look of whats on the Atlantics.
The rest is normal Humber stuff like lifelines and grab handles.

Anyone got any thoughts suggestions?

Thanks

Phill

i bought a new humber a while back and personally i wouldnt let them anywhere near any of my boats!
and they didnt give a damn!

Get the Boat down to Chris Hornidge at Henshaws(somerset) it will be worth it in the long run,

What bad experience did you have with Humber?

Whilst Henshaws are good its a 6 hour drive for me oppose to the 2.5 hour to Humber.

How long do they need the boat for?

Have you tried Avon?

[chewy]

Tried Avon £3500+vat, Humber have quoted £2757 all in!

Although a great fan of Henshaws I also found Eurocraft in Leyland did a good job on my Osprey and they seemed to have sorted out their attention to detail which was a bit suspect for a while.

I've emailed Eurocraft so will let you know what they come back with.
I think its down to Humber or Eurocraft purely for the distance.

Hi Chewy

Both of those are good, either could do my boat.

Does any one have any aftersales experience with either company?

If you are putting her on a swinging mooring I would recommend you put the main load straight to the D ring on the outside of the bow, run a second back up inside if you want but keep the load of it
