Valiant Pt520 test

Here’s a little video I stitched together from some clips we took.
It’s nothing fancy as the purpose was to try out my new to me rib not to film it fully.

It’s a Valiant Patrol 520 with a Mercury 80.
Goes well so far. I like it.

Looking good Gary, but where are you storing your Gin?

When you and Pieter have launched are you just parking on the road?

i had a valiant v570 for a while and i was quite impressed with that considering it was only a medium v hull it was surprisingly comfortable in rough seas .it was in as new condition yet 10 years old so was holding up well tubes pvc were as new and it had a solid feel about it . i went into it not expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised even the fake teak decking started to grow on me

This is quite an old boat but has had new hypalon tubes fairly recently and is a good project for me. Seems solid overall and I like the hull.
Hoping for a trip to Scotland next month so will gain more experience of how it handles then.
