New to this forum & Ribbing

Hi all, I would like to pop my head up and say an official hello. I’m relatively new to this forum & have recently purchased a Revenger 715 rib with a 150 Optimax. Will be our in the Solent this weekend so if anybody sees us please give us a wave or stop us for a chat would interested in meeting other similar bad about boats peeps.

Hi neilda she is kept in Gosport but also plan to take her don in the Summer to the West country & leave her there for a few weeks Salcombe, Dartmouth way.

How long will it take you to get to Salcombe? That sounds like a fun trip - but a fair jaunt, particularly if going solo....

We should try to hook up, I'm new to all this too and keep mine opposite yours (I'm in KB Boatyard on the Camber).

Gossy. Is your's that grey Revenger in Haslar?

I'm based in Gunwharf - we do the RIB trips and charter from there. We've got two boats out this weekend (Thunderbird 3 and Revolution) - give us a wave if you see us coming and going

PS. I too am planning to do Portsmouth -> Salcombe and Plymouth over the course of the summer. Should be a fun trip!

Trip down to Salcombe area may have to be on trailer due to time / work restrictions will look closer nearer the time, done the trip on motorboat many times. Looks like we have got beginnings of a little flotilla from the Gosport / Camber area then… Our rib is blue tubes but may look a little greyish as not new & a bit sun faded, one job this weekend to give her a bit of ribshine on the tubes.

If you need any help with anything at the Salcombe end then let me know - I live there!
