Finally finished the baby, I wasn't happy with the controller or cables, it turns out with good reason, nice blue high spec cables installed, controller working properly, need to sea trail it or in true biffer fashion, stuff it in the water and do the island in it, will be a good enough trail, I'm happy with it now, so let's sell it, over to you Alex, done my bit!

The Best was on crackin' form on Friday night, I thought. Look forward to another opportunity to sample it in 10 days' time, or so.

After quite a tough day I am pleased to say that the RIB 4 Macmillan is at the Southampton Boat Show on it's own stand. This has been by far the hardest part of the project..

Our eBay auction is also live!!!

RIB 4 Macmillan - Avon Searider SR5.4 Yamaha 90hp Outboard & Boat Trailer | eBay

Pics to follow....
