GraemeCooper,

Congratulations on your new RIB.

She is called 'Topaz'

Topaz is being fitted out by Fineway Leisure in Wroxham, near Norwich. I tried 4 or 5 Avon dealers, and these were by far the most professional, helpful and interested that I spoke to.

They have kept me informed of progress, been very helpful in giving me options to get the best for my money, and Steve, the owner, knows Avons as well as anyone I know. He also put me in touch with different owners he knew to discuss options on engine choice, fitout etc before we closed the deal. He also sent me loads of pictures of various fit out options.

He has kept exactly to schedule, got me a better deal than we agreed on an upgraded trailer, added some nice touches like circuit breakers instead of fuses, a dry pouch for wallets, keys etc, had the consoles specially adapted in various ways and has always advised me as to the pros and cons on cost Vs practicality when discussing options.

In all of this he has kept to the agreed budget.

I would recommend him to anyone considering an Avon.

HISWA
OK OK, you've convinced me (not that I needed much convincing....)
This weekend is the HISWA boat show in Amsterdam and I hope to do some serious business there!

To be continued....
