That is where my Ribcraft was taken from in 2008.

I believe there was another rib taken a few days after mine!

They do appear to have more than their fair share taken.

I remember saying the last time this came up that I wouldn't leave my boat with them overnight for work to be carried out.

I think that has less to do with the inboard engine and more to do with the two of your reputations.

They need a crane for Chubbys! but you are correct that Fareham location keeps coming up and this must be driving Lee Fairweather up the wall.
