Really aint many Cons with em ED, talk to that bloke that picks up the boats from Osprey, He knows the life mine leads and it just keeps on going for it and the fuel/performance raqtio never ceases to presently surprise us. The only thing that stops it working is a lack of fuel.

I.ve been running mine for two seasons now and I canstill outperform a 7.5 metre Ribcraft with a 225 Yamaha both boats having six on board. Boy does it hack off the Ribcraft owner. Before everybosy has a go I reckon ribcraft boats I just don't think there is a better Petol engine out there than the Opti

Dan - Well done a great site and the boat looks very good too, glad to see its up and running and know you guys have worked hard over the past months getting it fitted out and running, hopefully i'll see you out and about some time as we really must organise something locally.

MeMe · 18 December 2003, 08:37

Hi Daniel,

Nice to see the Banana finished,looks great, and the web site started hope all goes as well as it deserves, after the effort you`ve put in to the installation - thanks for the mention earlier in the Forum and I`d be delighted to hear of any feedback you have regarding the 601 in use (good or bad) hopefully JUST the good - but if there is any problem let me know and we will get onto it straight away.

If your visit the London Show do drop by to say hi we`re on Stand S2403 (if you can find it!).

PS our web site is now up and like yours in a state of constant build.development www.nautequipe.co.uk

Keep On Ribbin`

Regards,

Is anyone going to criticize my site? Is there really no misspellings? Although all these complements are nice that's not what i was looking for really! I'd better spend some more time on it and add more info me finks, quite a few ideas up my sleve but trying to fit in RIBing, Work and website in as well as everything else.....

Steve - the 601 is as good as expected, and VERY LOUD which is a good thing. My only comment would be (and this is to icom not yourselfs) it needs a dedicated dual watch button - presently it's a shifted function key. I'll come and hound you at LBS i want a few bits of kit as it happens, sailing club and friends boats.

Hi Daniel,

I'm very impressed by your site - very detailed but also excellent presentation.

You asked for spelling mistakes/typos and the English teacher in me just can't resist getting out the red pen...

'Specification' page - 'complementary' should be 'complimentary'.

'Ships Log' page - 'imposable' should be 'impossible'.

I've also spotted a couple of punctuation errors - do you want to know those too?!

Daniel · 18 December 2003, 16:11

Thats more like it, thanks

Made changes already - now must do some work, people waiting for PC's!

Now can you follow a question mark with a exclamation one?!

Daniel, never mind the solent, drag it up to the NW and get some proper logs for the site. Good looking site though, you've clearly put a lot of thought and effort into it. Look forward to reading it as it grows.

oh, nice looking rig as well!
