update on the 585

Update on the ribcraft 585 after reading all the advice from rib net now looking at getting the 6.4 with a 175 or 200 engine,also change to the colour scheme now looking at black tubes ,black hull ,everything will be black apart from piping on the seats which i am looking at red, and red life lines.Also going to speak to Jason to see if we can get the boat name into the seats , all the advice greatly appreciated , its a lot of money just want to make sure i get it right

thanks
