Definitely , cover is needed -a firm Bimini and maybe an extension across the back.

Don,t have a go about technical issues -I am an end user only!

But if I dip the foot in the water I 'll give you a buzz and see what can be done.for an elegant rest in Nice see my site

Phil - The idea that Kevin (Kitten) and myself had was to build a boat that couldn't be bought already, I'm sure the Cap Camaret has some great points to it, but if we had listened to every person who had an idea the boat would never been built!

I saw someone yesterday about uphostery, and I discussed a bimini with him, and all we need to do is make a frame, and he will sort out the covering in whatever colour is required!

We are looking at making the rear seat open out into the cockpit to make a sunbathing area, or putting a removeable cushion on the foredeck - I agree that would require a small handrail, but that woldn't be a problem either!

One of the comments from people who have been onboard has been the large cockpit area and how good it is compared to jockey seat boats that have no room to move about - not saying ours is better, but what some people want!

Not sure what you mean about the extension across the back, could you clarify that?

Thank you for your comments Phil - keep them coming!

Glad you liked the tour Jono - when are you coming down to try it?

Paul and Kathleen - you need to come down and try it out now!

Rodin - I hope you'll see a few of ours there in the future as well!

Demo of the "leisure" Bananashark RIB was the highlight of the southampton boat show for me. It's different from your mainstream RIB,extremely well thought out and put together .

Cheers

Congrats on your recent wins as well - seems like your boats cope pretty well with the rough stuff!!!

I know I always get at people who accuse others of splashing hulls etc but for once it seems someone DOES have something very different - your hull is certainly unlike most others!!!!

Any plans to build a bigger version for twin outboards - my next RIB purchase would have been a Pascoe - maybe a 9.5m one of yours with 2x 250hp Etecs would change my mind!!!

BUT

don't you need to conclude your current purchase before you go sniffing after another rib? that will be even more expensive? Your current purchase seems to have gone on for some time.........

It's a siber Rib! It's out there some where & one day it might just be beamed down from the US Enterprise!

well a mate of a mate of a mate of a mate of mine ordered a brochure for a Sunseeker and he is still waiting for it to arrive!!!

Richard B · 07 October 2005, 14:36

Thats because he asked for a price list, and if you have to ask...

yes a bit silly to ask the price of the brochure, i guess as it shows you might not be solvent enough for them..

Richard B · 07 October 2005, 14:50

I think IKEA have the price on the front of their catalogue!

as your new 8.5 Rib is being finished and packed ready for delivery to its final destination i guess you can now make plans for the 9.5m with "twin see me girls"

engine in another thread i think

Sealine quality would come as a pleasent surprise - delivery times a bit sketchy but they have smartened up their act.

Cookee - good luck in the Med, got yourself an outlet yet? You need to get one into the Cannes or Monaco show next year to really test the water.

So when are you buying the second RIB codders? Pascoe then? Nice if you have a spare £160k lying about...

Thank you for your congratulations,

The hull was designed by Lorne Campbell but the top half is all our own work.

Our existing hull will take twin outboards although not 250's - it will take for instance 2 X 150 Verados!

If you want us to build you a bigger one I would be happy to take a deposit off you Codders - it might take a while, but you don't seem too bothered about long delivery times!

Thank you Rodin - We may exhibit at the Superyacht tender show next year - if we have enough capacity of course!

We'd love to Cooks ...one of these fine days! The boat looked trés chic in Plymouth. Need to look in on Ian Austin again too.

Would recomend it - people buy there! Currently all Pascoe, Dariel, Novorania and Cyrrus... so room for comp. Blade Runner should get there too, hull pedigree in numbers...
