Inside, likewise is about done.

Units fitted, alarm fitted.
You can also see the foul weather kit starting to get hung up.

She gets her first outing at the Powerboat Grand Prix this weekend at Ramsgate Harbour!

Stunning.

RIB builders just get better and better. Like the black hull with yellow tubes. I think more could be done with the black hull but give it a few years yet.

NR.

Where in Ramsgate harbour are you going to be situated.
I go down and see Lance and Mike at Dover Sea School quite regularand have a cup of coffee at Ship Shape.
It would be good to come on over and say hi.

Andre,

Need you ask?
She has two VHF's, one GX-1500 and one GX-3000
Two GPS Chart Plotters, One 7.5" CP-300 and one 12" CP-500.

The GX-3000 is rigged with speakers in the consol to act as a PA to the passangers if needed.

The CP-300 is rigged to give depth and the CP-500 will be rigged for Radar overlay in the very near fututre.

With any luck you will be able to see her at Southampton Boat Show this year.

Hightower,

The boat is named after my very first girlfriend..........NOT!!

But seriously........
She is named after my daughter, Micki being short for Michaela and the DEE BEE are her other intitials.
Finding a boat name can be so very hard.

Oxboy,

I know Lance very well he will always be able to point you in my direction.....normally in Miles bar

The boat will be in the outer harbour close to the Fishery Protection boat and the Pilot boats.
Would be nice to meet you so please come and say hi if your over.
If we are working the yellow mobile office will be next to the lifting bridge, you can't miss it, no really you wont!!!!

Many thanks for the feedback and comments
