Opinion please

Hi all,

Sorry, back asking questions again.

What are the collective thoughts on this;

Rib 5.5m | eBay

Having looked at my priorities I've decided that I would like a project for the winter rather than buying something that is ready to go, I appreciate that this can be more expensive in the long run, however I shuffle papers around a desk all day so I like to get my hands dirty when I get home.

I quite like the hard nosed style of this boat and would value your opinions, as varied as they will surely be

Thanks

Barry

Not sure why, but I'd wonder if he had that engine wet while he was running it...

I have already asked that question, I think I know what the answer might be An engine rebuild would not be the end of the world, I used to race a Husaberg (enduro bike) and regular engine rebuilds were part of the fun !!

Thanks,

Barry
