Hello and welcome to the forum Steve. We have quite a few USA members here with interesting RIBs. Dive in with some questions or pictures of your outfit in the Ribs & Ribbing section and they should notice.

Thanks. Yes. Thats the defender class. I just repowered it with twin 250 HP Verado’s replacing the 2005 Verado 275’s I ran it with for the past 6 years.
