Hope the show went well last week.
I thought you had Suzi 250's on their way for the rib, or is this a different one?

In the charter fleet we have 3 Osprey Viper 7m that we changed to Suz 250 from Mer 225 opti.
This is the new boat in fleet, an Osprey Falcon 8,2m.
We had a Osprey Seaharrier 6,6m before with a 200HPDI and that`s the only engine that never had any probs with so we went for the new 300HPDI this time.
The suz is a deal with the importer of Suz in Sweden, they will do some testing with 250 on the Vipers so we got a nice deal on the engines, hope they are as good as they say, they are not installed yet, so we have`nt tested them.
The exhibition is still going on, finished on sunday.

They are in Sweden but i have no clue where.
Hope we will have them after the exhi for installation, it`s not very stressfull for us because the ice are still like 10-15cm in our harbour, but it`s nice to have them on so as soon ice disaperes we can put the boats in the water.

Hi Andre and thank`s.
Acctually the show is one of the best ever (my opinion)
a lot of interesting ribs, seen most of them before on the exhi here but there was some new models that was interesting to se.
Not as much on ribex but ribs are not as popular as in uk yet, but it`s a very fast growing market.
I will definetly post some nice pics as soon as i have them, keep you updated.

Exactly one euro, but when it`s commercial it`s only 35 cents.

Stockholm show

I visited the Stockholm show last week with great hurry, but could not find your boat. Nice to see it's nearing completion. I agree that in Stockholm there were loads of RIBs, much more than in Helsinki show.

Boat show

I was so busy visiting the show that I just decided to go through the stands looking for 2x300 hp engines, but missed unfortunately your smaller boat. Anyway, maybe visit during open-water season works better....

Boat is rwady just missing the A-frame with radar arch and offcourse, radar/GPS/sonar, a week ago my plans was to drive the boat up to Sweden but the ice will make the trip a little bit late.
Hopefully ice is gone in a week or two.
Here is some new pics when boat is running.

Brrrrr, dont even talk about, 106 lit per engine/hour at 5800rpm, but in Swe we can take some taxes of so if it`s a commercial boat it`s around 40cents per/lit, so it`s not that bad

Nice RIB

Great looking RIB. Are you using the boat for charter? Do you have pictures from cockpit and deck?
