Hello from Ireland

Hi all,

Noel here from Co.kerry in Ireland,
I was researching Ribs last year and came upon this site a good few times, I actually didn't buy an authentic Rib in the end but got a good deal on a used poly rib like boat instead,
hope I'm still welcome

Cheers
Noel

Welcome to RIBnet Noel. You're from good boating country and i suppose the football is just about OK too

Our eponymous moderator Poly has one of those yokes too - I hope they're OK as I've booked a run on it shortly....

Brave man, impressive but violent,
I watched that video before buying mine, it said in the description on YouTube that his outboard got flooded while moored on an overnight stop, anybody know what hp he was using?
