new osprey rib

[danny]

Hey everybody.

Just bought another rib this afternoon.

It's a Osprey 7,4 meter rib with a hard nose.
Has a Johnson 175 hp 2 stroke behind it wich is almost new.

Don't know the type of model though. Can anybody reccognise the model ?

Looks good though! Looks like it may have been used for racing? Looking forward to those piccies!

Everything in the body loved the cruising with the Jokerboat except my back.
Now we will be able to take some more waves and still will be able to hold my beer afterwards.

The Joker will be for sale after next summer.

First want to build a new console and jockeys and take the raceconsole out.
She needs some small repairs and that will be done by a professional.
This wil take some months work and i don't want to enjoy this summer without using a boat.

Looks like a Lynx. Rated to 200hp with a hull speed of 55knots.

Is it a lynx, Petrov?

If anyone would know you must surely be the man.

Hi Danny;

It`s an Osprey XR24 (maybe 26, in the UK they meassure the boats different from us)
The Lynx came after the XR range.
Here is a pic of how the Lynx bow looks like.

PS: If you look at the serialnumber you can se what model it is.

Could'nt find anything on the boat.
That's what I was looking for. Thanks Petrov.
The nose is indead a bit different.
It would be a 24 I think. 7.4 meters.

Any idea when they stopped manufacturing the XR series ?
