Parker Baltic 900 with 2 x 275hp Verado's

[UKPOWERBOAT]

Well after much deliberation over which rib to buy, I have today placed an order with Andre for a Parker Baltic 900 with twin 275hp Verado's.

Set up will be 8 winged back jockeys behind the consul, front seat integrated into the consul, with huge raised sun pad area in the bow, with storage beneath. (keep the misses happy)

A-Frame with Wakeboard towing point and liferings, with echomax on top, 2 x 220 litre stainless fuel tanks under the deck.

Electronics wise, will have the Smartcraft 5000 system, Garmin 2010c Chart Plotter and Icom 421 VHF.

Will post some photo's when I have some through.

That is a serious bit of kit. What are they claiming it will do, top whack?

We reckon somewhere around the 65 knott mark, will have to find our once she arrives and run in of course.

That's a serious Rib! Love the shape from the photos I've seen. Are you getting it in the grey/black colour scheme? Very nice

No I am going for the same colour scheme I had on my Ribcraft, Yellow Hull & Tubes with Black Patches on the tubes and Yellow & Black Jockeys. The Yellow is not the really lary yellow.

Bloody Hull.....You won't get many Yachts to the Loch with that beasty at the dump.

Congrats.....Have you sold the Ribcraft, Richard?

Thank you, "dump" you referring to Port Solent yes can't wait. Yes I have sold the Ribcraft, bought it only as a stop gap till I decided what I wanted to go to next, was a superb rib.

Not my place to say or judge, but having one half of your engine set up, ooooh thats gonna hurt in gas. Hey I wish it was my boat

[Millermob]

Nice one Richard, that'll be one nice rib. When do you take delivery?
