to buy another rib,, the wife is going to go mental,

Phil Chitty · 26 April 2006, 12:02

You should really buy a bigger one and I'll buy that off you in a couple of years!

nugent · 26 April 2006, 12:06

think i will settle for a 585 for now some thing for me and the boys.

or i can get a smaller osprey from my friendly laminators, and my tube friend would elp me out am sure. and as you well know i can build the rest my self.

Phil Chitty · 26 April 2006, 15:23

If you go down that route good luck mate.
I'm really pleased with the build quality on my 6.5!!

Ever thought about a change of career?

Oh I got this same feeling oh about a week after buying my 1st rib (note I said 1st there will be more). But I have just been hoodwinked into a new kitchen and conservatory. I know you can feel my pain.

Quote from 13year old son “dad you got any idea how big a RIB you could have got for that much” I feel this sums it up. In the end we are all still 13

oh dear 7.5 vipermax 98% negotiated this day 27 april..
self build again, i have learnt much after the last title bout, and i know i can do better, with experiance learnt,when you can buy a hull and have the tubes fitted, the rest isnt that bad, you can negotiate so much for parts, and you do not mark your own items up. appart from the late nights and nagging from her indoors

phil if your upgrading this time next year you know where to find me

You must be mad Nugent, what happened to the sports fisher and the offshore 105!!
Best of luck with it look forward to seeing the pictures, these Ospreys are like Ikea furniture, everyone seems to bring them home in a box of bits and assembling them themselves, bets its easier than a flat pack wardrobe with swedish instructions

white hull, grey tubes, 4 x racing seats huge fuel tank.
hull price good.
tube price good,
not sure what to run it wid 300hp or 2 x 150opti , (fuel cost ouch)or 2 x 4 bangers,

it really is nice having 22000sq feet to work in, all indoors in nice newly built unit, and all the tools you could ever wish for,
