Rick,
who rigged the engine - did Ribcraft do it as part of the build & did they procure it competitively?

Yep, the Merc 150 on my 585 was the same .......... rigged by Ribcraft and then sea trialled etc involving Barrus in the setup and prop selection .......... and I am very pleased with the end result ..............


Barrus are excellent with their aftersales help ..........nothing is too much trouble, and their product knowledge is excellent ............

Mate managed to delete the original drone video accidentally

Now added some rod holders for occasional fishing

Really enjoying her - a lot of the trips we had planned have been delayed to next year due to Covid (overnight stays away from home harbour and a Scilly run)

Looking at my local patch of water this morning the seas are flat calm - Sod’s law when it’s a work day! This weekend is looking ace though. Met up with another RC 6.8 in Whitsand Bay a couple of weeks ago with Uhlmans and a rear bench seat on its first run post delivery day. Was it anyone on here?
