She'll do 49 knots. Cruises very nicely at 38 kts. Not cheap to buy or on gas, but when you want to go whale watching with the kids 40 miles out, it's the way to go. I would agree new prices are...

I've got a Targa 28 with twin 225s and love it. Have driven twin 150s and that'll work just fine. 115s do seem quite small, but at that price, I don't think you are paying much for them.

Ha, not much burning 50 GPH. Haven't sold the Ribcraft, so I guess that's my economy RIB.

Thanks Bill. I had her out Sunday in about 18kts and 4 footers. Once I figured out the trim tabs, she cut through the waves nicely. The Verados make her somewhat stern heavy IMHO, but the tabs...

New ride - 2006 Protector

I just took delivery of this beast. Wife wanted something more "practical" for her and the kids. Not sure how practical it'll be at the fuel dock, but enjoying it so far!

I just got back from the UK and Ireland. Did see some sweet RIBs whilst over there. I may be able to meet up for an outing, but probably have to play it by ear.

I watched the Whale Wars show, primarily because there are RIBs involved. I believe they turtled the Delta, while the grey RIB they have is a Zodiac. I agree about the lack of seamanship.

32 nm sounds about right for the trip. It took me about 75 hours on my boat last year before I felt comfortable taking her out that far. ...

I like the polypro idea. I bought the HullHugr but they were not durable enough. Outer fabric was wearing through in about a week. Maybe ok for occasional use, but not for everyday use.

I may try one of these peel and stick Vikuiti products from 3M designed for LCDs. Gets good reviews from the nerd crowd, and is a fraction of what Garmin quoted me. Worth a shot perhaps.
