Welcome to RIBnet Biff.

Sorry, my tame engineers are a little too far away from your part of the world!

I see you've got a JMD - I undertook my RYA2 5 years ago in a 6.1m Temptress, which is the same hull as the JMD

. I subsequently had a trip on JMDs last demo boat, when I was first thinking about RIB ownership, which also had the 175 'rude on the back. Very sure footed, as I remember it.

I'm sure you'll get a recommendation from one of the North Eastern members shortly.

Both Humber and Tornado are in Hull and I think Northcraft are also not too distant.

Hi Biff. Not sure about the NE. I know in Liverpool you just leave your Rib in Macdonalds carpark for 10 mins then claim on the insurance. Rib fixed!
