Hi Maximus,

Sadly I'm not going, but I went last year. The Ribcraft guys are excellent, have a good drive of any boat you want, put it properly through it's paces and no hard sell presures at all. I was really impressed with the Ribcraft team, AND their products.
Have a great time!

I think these open day gigs are great. If I was over there, I'd be at that one. As it is, I'll have to be content with burning some Redbay diesel on the 23/24th.

No, I was just expressing a bit of ribbing solidarity. Speaking of which, are you thinking about a change or are you just looking for a quick ride?

No, how could I ever change, I'd have to delete all my old posts

I am heading down to keep Maximus out of trouble and also to try out those new bouncy seats.

The 6.8 is a great boat. Here's mine being born and in Guernsey on the way home after coming across the Channel.
