had kinda same lay out on my 585 [not near as nice as that] love the boat , but found that on a long trip or well on any trip, can feel very much on your own up there at the helm, side by side is far more fun and nice to have some one help play with the toys... share the blame when things go wrong, its the one thing i always wanted to change

If you're still going to have the radar then make sure Ribcraft reinforce the mounting with flanges to the tubing. They had a radome mounting brake a while ago and with mine they put the flanges on for extra strength.

If you screw one of these on the back, you'll need to get out and push!!!!!!!

picture only has i engine because i was looking at putting a 140 on but think twins would be better

[matt h]

I looked at the new one, there have been some alterations to it, they have raised the section from the rear of the hull to the bottom of the tube so that the tube sits higher out of the water, i think its called a scollop or something,or maybe its something that goes well with garlic or butter,
anyway, also they have increased the length... im sure i got told that.. speak to jace anyway, but lovely boat!!

[BassBoy]

I don't know about the new 'shell fish' mods described by Matt, but I can tell you that as of about august 2007, a 585 mould was stretched to 6m. Mine was the second one to come out of it!
