F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

So today I bought a new landing net for the boat
Bought a new jockey wheel for the trailer and booked the skipper on a vhf course.

Managed to get on the water last night for the maiden voyage and really pleased. Trimmed on 3rd hole, up on the plane easily tracks straight in mild chop. Managed 19mph on the gps with 4 adults so should be great with my son , myself and some fishing gear. Forgot to fit the transponder so I haven’t ...

So I’ve serviced the engine, trailer and fitted the gps/fishfinder ready for the maiden voyage and the damn weather has put an end to that this weekend. 60mph wind in August , what next.

Lol, yes I’m not as silly as I look!
Did the 100 hour service last night although every thing looks like new I’d rather start from a known point.
Hoping to take it out on Sunday afternoon for a test run.

Fitted the fishfinder/gps this evening. Ran the transponder cable through the fuel line straps on the tube. Put the battery box in the seat tidy. Just got to get some stainless cable clips to tidy the cable on the transom.

Just taken my Raymarine Dragonfly off the kayak ready to fit this week. Conveniently a previous owner has fitted scotty mounts on the tubes which is a bonus.

Got a picture just trying to work out how to post it with an iPad

Thanks for the advice, I like the finder/battery box idea.
Got the boat home now with a list of jobs firstly a full service on the engine, punctured launch wheel and perished trailer tyres.
