The guy I bought it off had it listed on eBay & sold it only for the lad to not pay after a week, claimed he no longer wanted it. It was then listed on gumtree when I phoned to make enquiry it was in same village as my parents & only 15mins away. Viewed , saw potential scored a bargin but I'm adding bits & bobs, desperate to get new console / jockey seats

Just getting basics finished off, new working vhf, nav lights set up, safety gear etc, will get it out this month for sure but but take it along to rnli station were im trainee crew & launch with the d class so if engine has problems ive got tow home, The rib sold on ebay for £3500 i paid a grand less

On a sib it's more important to have all tubes and keel well inflated to it's factory recommended pressures once on water to have needed rigidity to perform as expected, on a rib it's less important as the hull is the part that floats, on deep V hulls, tubes barely touches water so 2.5-3.0 psi will be suficient.

Happy Boating

I checked them out seems I have Halkey Roberts valves. I don't have any experience with them but I am even more confused how I can use an air compressor with those, save me having to buy an electric inflation pump for £200

Due to the dimensions of my garage I am going to have to deflate and inflate the tubes each time I want to come in and out of the garage so I def need some way other than manual.
