they wanted £9500! but i managed to get it for £8750! so im happy with that, its absolutely mint condition, will get some pics up this weekend once i collect it, should be a good step up from my old rib which was a Valiant 3.80m with a 25hp Mercury!

Well done

That sounds like a cracking buy. I hope you enjoy it and use it lots this summer.
They handle very well in a safe and predictabble mannor, which is ideal for family outings.

Wow, looks good.

Will keep a look out for you, I will no doubt see you as I am instructing out of a marina further up from Harwich.

Saw today launching down the slipway.

I was in the Blue Ribcraft with those flags flying off the A Frame you crossed behind us.

I've PM'd you unless you want me to tell the world!
