The Standard Horizon PS1000 is a great 'black box' fixed DSC VHF for use in a small RIB, as the only exposed part is the RAM...

Windguru has sites for Bournemouth (Branksome Chine, Boscombe Chine), Ventnor or East Wittering.

I don't think yachts regularly berth forward of/under the Lightship's bows on the outboard side of the pontoon. ...

Daniel,

I am looking for an electric start and tilt/trim with a bit more than my 40hp engine.

Can you let me know...

Mine has a draw-string cord threaded through eyelets around the edge. I also stop it blowing away with a bungee strap above the jockey seat from tube handle to tube handle.

Cheaper Covers'r'Us

If style is not an issue then do what I did.

Buy a cheap motor-bike cover from LIDL.

Still good two years on and less than 5 pounds to replace.

Too good to be true...?

Is this price for real for this much boat/engine? :] I'm not the seller I hasten to add. More than happy with my Searider but this looks like too much of a bargain..

Now fitted and in use

Many thanks Jim,

A Frame now fitted to Gee-Gee-Jay and making her look much more ship-like. Now need to think about an electrical set-up for evening trips to the Folly Inn.

Cheers again
