Did my PB2 on a Solent, so am probably more familiar with them than any and was impressed, but also impressed with XS.

Hi - really appreciate the offer, but I've tried an XS and did my PB2 on a Solent 6.9! They are very closely matched in many areas, hence the dilemma.

I have years of low speed experience with...

XS is a 700 (7.2m) with a beam of 2.6m and the Solent is a 7.5m with a beam of 2.4m. The XS has a Yamaha Z200 and the...

Hi Tim, every time I try to spend £24k on a RIB my bank manager tells me it's not wise and that the business isn't turning over enough yet! Any time now I will ignore him and buy one anyway! :thumbs:

RIB vs Sportsboat

Having made my mind up about which RIB I want, I went and tried a 22' Sportsboat/cuddy on Saturday, a Monterey 218LSC to be exact.
