Humber resident in Jersey?
Does anyone know of a 8m Humber rib that is based in Jersey? I would be very interested in talking to the owner as I am thinking of getting a new Humber 8m Ocean Pro and putting my Suzuki 250HP on it.

Paul,
You may find that when it comes to your 6 week clean up the weed comes off more easily. Now you've got the SBS you might as well give it a go. I don't think you'll damage the hull unless you...

Boat is in the water all the time and gets used on a regular basis i.e. 2 or 3 times a week. I think if the boat is in the water permanently SBS is not going to make much difference. I am tempted to...

Stuffing Prosports
Squirrel maybe has a point there. Waves were big enough to scare the crew! probably more like 2m. Stuffing strap is probably a good idea. Maybe a winter project. I don't think any other prosport has...
