[mikehhogg]

Looking for a good usable set tubes\sponsons to suit pacific 22 mk1. Mk2 tubes will suit.

Tried the Somerset guy ?

Have made contact but nothing at the moment, maybe later in year

"anybody"

Tried henshaws? They used to have “stock tubes” for sale

[mikehhogg]

tried them and nearly fell off the chair at the price of original heavy duty commercial spec ones. have not gotten over the shock yet to price a lighter option lol

[dreichmcculloch]

Mike: Just for reference (recently became a pac owner) what was the ball park for a set of commercial tubes?

[GuyC]

I'd be interested in this as well - slightly more long term but now I've replaced everything else.....

Tilley Inflatables and North West Ribs might be worth speaking to. Could us Pac 22 owners get a bulk discount?

[mikehhogg]

unless I am totally mistaken I understood 12750 pounds for a set of original mk 2 .I could buy a complete craft for this and sell the engine and outdrive etc and have the tubes for next to nothing.how about a facebook page for halmatic rib owners. My mate bought a new set of original mk 2 last year for just under 3k

£12750 does sound quite a lot and yes, it would more than double the value of the boat.

Whilst there is the occasional flurry of posts for Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic (are these Halmatic?) RIB's, I don't know whether they are popular / common enough to support their own page. I'm a luddite (which is possibly why I own a Pac 22) and this forum is on the bleeding edge of my IT competence. As a result I'd prefer to stay on here and make sure I add Halmatic to the subject line to try and make searching easier.

I'm a Pac 22 Mk11 owner and will be after tubes myself in the new year. I've been recommended Rodella ribs in Poole by other marine tradesman. I haven't got a quote yet so would be very interested in what prices you get.

[paulbrown22]

I can definitely recommend Rodella Ribs - I haven't had a complete set of tubes from them (yet), but Giovanni did some superb work adding very large M-Tec wear patches to my existing tubes 5+ years ago now, which are still working perfectly. I was hoping to just get a few more years out of them, but so far haven't even needed to think about a new set of tubes again!

I have spoken with him recently regarding repairs to a Pac 22.
He told me that his websites pacificribs.com and ddpacifics.com might not be working at the moment.

He can supply new or used at all budgets!

Are you sure it was £12k? Henshaws made me a new set of tubes for an Arctic 22 for about £4,500, it was a few years ago now but they were full original spec.

[GuyC]

Looking down this list, I'm feeling slightly inadequate.

GordyP has an Arctic 22 called Thunder, RAN357's Pac 22 is called Vulcan and Searider has a boat called War Shot. I might have to think of a more manly name.

[RAN357]

Quoted just over 8k at Henshaws last April 1500gsm as origin spec regards d rings and handles etc minus the safety rope.

[nugent]

henshaws done mine too £ 4400 few years back
This is a pac 22 both converted to,outboard

I also got set tubes from a company in Scotland for £1500 and had them cleaned and freshened up by Henshaws

I know where there's a nice set of black tubes impressioned fabric that could be adjusted to fit there off a 7.5 ocean pro

Same as these exactly
