What is this?

Is this what I think it is? The console looks remarkably like a ranger and the hard nose...? The only little point is the bit of GRP just under the nose that ends just aft of where I would expect the spray rails to begin. Just like the little thing on a revenger.

The pic of the Discovery console is useless.
I presume the 7m VM in log flume blue must be Roy's new ride. I think he's had those tapered tubes fitted back to front.

All depends what you think it is, I think its a RIB but I could be wrong and it could be a figment of my imagination.

So, if gotchiboy's right, the one in his pic would be the 'Clone Ranger'?

Message to Roy. How 'bout putting a pic mine or Dave Griffiths' boat on the site?

Right now, the Osprey colour pallet looks as if it's been inspired by a drag queen's make-up box.

There are some, er, "unusual" colours featured but Roy has already asked me to send some photos of mine on the water so must be some plans I think

The website is not great but I suppose with the reputation Osprey have got and the number of hulls that can go through in a year, advertising isn't really necessary
