Yeah, I hear it also, but it's wrong to write All 'professionals' off as incompetent bodgers. Although, I've also come across a couple in the marine industry.

I know, you just need to know who you are dealing with. Some companies (I'm thinking of the likes of Turner Engineering doing Land Rover engines) turn out stuff which is to a better standard than the factory makes. Shame they don't do boat engines (well I think they do the VM diesel out of the Range Rover but that's as far as it goes)

Peter - thanks - I will check them out

You could always charter them your RIB whilst they are one boat down for 4 months... now with presumably little competition you can set your own prices - so you could get yourself a new bigger/better rib...

They might be of some use.

Personally I would find a good diesel engine bloke and offer him a free holiday!!!
