Thanks, it was Biffer's brother who came up with the idea, the trouble is no one looks at signs, so this works, it really works!

People look at the boat and me and Thomas designed all this over email!

Thanks for measuring the RIB Chris and thanks for sending down your legend Steve He's a top bloke, but I guess you already know that. He really did great today

Also thanks for cleaning the RIB, wrapping it and delivering it to the show

Finished up at the boatshow with crew2 and the ginger ninja. Chris from Henshaws dropped in and gave us quite a few mouse mats. He said the coloured dots are very true to the rib tube material colours. Anyway me and Alex reckon these mouse mats should go to the people who will appreciate the colours meaning so we are going to give them to any Ribnet members who show up at the showClick image for larger version

Incredible job done by everyone involved, you really should be very proud and pleased with your efforts!

One thought...... Is it worth displaying somewhere with the boat a "current bid this morning £__,___" might help push the price up??

Can't wait to see the rib when I visit the show on Monday.
Well done !!!!!!!

Fantastic job Alex. Can't make the show coz up in Scotland but my thoughts are with you guys.

The Rib looks absolutely amazing with the sign writing and the support from Henshaws and Boatylicious is superb.

As for Biff, Leg End.

Have a fantastic show and remember; ENJOY!!
