I don't have time for the next month, but if it's...

That's the one! I viewed it in June but it still hasn't sold.

What would be involved in that repair?

Can these tubes be repaired?

These photos are of a RIB I'm interested in buying. When I first saw this wear on the tubes, I turned and ran, as to a newbie it looked pretty terminal.


Someone who knows a lot more about RIBs...

I did my PBL2 this weekend with Ryan at iPowerboat in Ballachulish.

Quite a round trip of 550 miles but well worth it, the instruction, the scenery and the training boat were all absolutely spot...

Well I went to see it on Wednesday.

The photos were quite old - it's been in a field for a year or more, tubes flat, battery flat, no chance to start it up or even wake up the electronics.

I'm back!

Things have settled down on the home front, so I'm ready to start looking again. PBL2 is booked for next month in Ballachulish, as I fancied a trip to the highlands this summer.

Hi Phil,

I'm in Broughton in Furness. Whitehaven is probably the nearest good place for launching, Roa island is probably similar in terms of distance but not as sheltered.

I'd like to build...
