Was going quick!....just not seen it before...looked a good boat..being driven hard...lots of spray..tight turns etc

Out when we left and when we got back.....looked full both times to...good luck to them...it's going to need a lot of petrol going that quick with 300s on it!

Thank Christ for that! Tom gets very upset when they're coddled. I've had a wee bit of a run in her big sister, fuel usage was not as bad as I had expected.

Here is a little vid of a sea trial we had with their RIB closing down a Red Jet at the end of last year Redbay Sea Trials - YouTube

Well balanced boat with awsome speed and handling
