Was just about to do it and someone warned me that it's unlucky, but I can't have a boat called Anne-Marie II - it just reminds me of my son's mate's rather sexy...

Hi Nick
Not sure if that's the boat, but below is definitely the boat, and a couple of pics of LittleLordy too.
Thanks again for your advice Nick - as you can see, I followed it, or most of it...

Hi Danilo
I've done so much research I feel I should open a SIB shop myself! Like you, I live in London and it seems impossible to try out anything.
Anyway, after months of research I've...

Transom Wheels
'evening
Was just about to 'flash the cash' on a Honwave T38-IE - a nice light airdeck SIB - when they told me you can't put transom wheels on it because the deck protrudes out past the transom.

Sink or fly?
Saw this combo on eBay - a 40hp, tiller steered, on an air deck boat. Is this madness? :eek:
Wouldn't the boat buckle? :]

Thanks John/Mustrib
The reason I'm getting the SIB is sort of as a tender to a GRP boat this summer, but I suspect we may move up to a bigger boat with a cuddy/berths next year or year after.

Are Air decks dangerous?
I've read somewhere that air decks - Bombard, Honda, Zodiac etc. models - are so light that they can flip over in a slight gust or chop, particularly with only 1 or 2 people sitting toward the back....

Is it possible you just had a Friday afternoon special, Andyboy?
Or has...

Transom problems on a Zodiac Medline 1
