Good luck on the gecko,

The project went quite fast and we found a way to use the leftover flowcoat as non slip so we were ok in the end. Thank you so much for your offer though There is still a little work on the console if you want to see that or we can take loads of photos for you

I have for you:

Aluminium toolbox (to bolt on to the trailer to put ratchet straps etc in). I'm sure, between us, Biff and I can fab some mounting brackets for it.

A small Pelicase (it's been lightly used), but they're good bits of kit and waterproof. I thought it could be used for a toolbox for the Yam tools

Ratchet straps. Think they're blue, from memory, but if you want to go with the black ones, you can have them anyway for spares

A single axle flushing kit that I'll fit

A grease gun (I'll load with grease)


I'm busy at present, but will post a pic when I can and drop to Biff. If the lightingboard is 6' (which I suspect) then I'll supply one of those too.

All the best, Ben

Hi Ben,

Thank you for all your help with this and your generosity too, also thank you for servicing the borrowed trailer and replacing the break cables too

You have been absolutely great with this project even though your daughter hasn't been well so hats off to you, you're a great bloke

[whisper]

More great news, I have had a PM from MustRib to say that he has donated £200 and transferred it into our account Thank you MustRib!

This really is a mile stone for the project as Once the hull sells later tonight it means that the engine and trailer will be paid off and we can transfer the money back to Neil Harvey who has been very good in putting up this money until we raised the funds Without Neil doing this we would have lost the deal on the donor rib.

Also can I say thank you to the two other Ribnet members that also offered to loan this money

So soon the project will be 100% funded by Ribnet members and supporters, which means that we have built this package out of nothing but donations, donated parts and help from great people.

This really is the power of ribnet, thank you all for your support

I've had a donation of £50 from Andre at Parker RIBS, thanks mate

*Off the A frame, the 2 white plastic pipe clips that go on the top that hold the pole which has the all round white light when it folds up and down. Also the clevis pin that holds the pole up in place. Sorry I don't know the sizes until we get the a frame back.

*Old school Mariner male fuel fitting to fit fuel hose. Like this:

MERCURY MARINER FUEL LINE FITTING MALE CONNECTOR | eBay

*Wide trailer board, think its about 5" or more, needs to be wide as the poles that come out of the trailer are quite far apart.

* 2 x Carling Switches

*Ratchet straps x 3

*Orange prop bag

*There will also be a few small bits at the end of the build but hoping not too much, keep an eye on this thread

*If we provide a decent safety package with the boat then according to the RYA we would need the following items which are ideal for a company/chandlery to donate...

Pump for tubes
Fire Extinguisher
First Aid Kit
Safety knife / rope cutter
Tool kit in a waterproof case (suitable for a Yamaha 90hp 2 Stroke)
Waterproof torch
Handheld VHF (nice to have)

The number one priority it to raise enough money to pay for the engine and trailer by selling parts and collecting donations into the bank account in my signature By donating money in this way allows us to complete the build. So for example a £10 donation soon becomes worth a lot more as the build comes together and at the end, the final sale price will have gift aid added so it is the most effective way to contribute to this project

Have you got the carling switches yet? I think I have a couple in my box of bits...

No I haven't got any that match each other so a pair would be good, there isn't much in the way of switchable equipment, we have a good push button trip switch fuse board that the vhf and plotter will be wired into but the switches would be good

I managed to bid on glow sticks :-)

Didn't make the bag ..but tempted to get one anyway!

I can pay you, pay the Macmillan bank account or pay the just giving page.....what's best for the boat etc?

[Philipflop]

Hi peter,
Please pay as normal through PayPal, I'm an eBay business and it gives paper trail.
If you wanted to buy a bag, do it through eBay and I will throw in another box of glow sticks, all the money, less postage will be sent to alex for the boat fund.
Thanks Phil
