Tony, they have been building speed boats down in Surrey since the Ice Age. For some unknown reason their ribs never really took off like some of the other makes. May be down to lack of exposure and publicity in the magazines in the early days.

Just seen the price of the used demonstrator in B&O, how much

It’s on bids , it’s 5.8m dive rib with 90hp mariner and trailer
Good rib with a wide hull just struggled as the bow didn’t have a deep vee for the rough.
