F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

I still have my F-Rib 360, but I have not used it in a few years.

Maybe business owners can pay to keep it running in exchange for a logo? Just a thought?

I have one on the nose of the boat.

So maybe they have a bad batch

You might find one second hand on eBay. I sold an 1984 version of that engine to one of our members ( @James ) for spares or repair so he might have a spare seal.

I fired it up and she started straight away. Two issues though. 1. She isn't pumping water 2. Carb is leaking fuel. So not too ...

The sound doesn't annoy me.
It would just be nice to have a conversation with another boat while idle lol.
The heat side of things did cross my mind.

I think I will just leave it as it is. I'm not after a 4-Stoke just yet as I love my Johnson

Hi This weekend I am going to get the 2-Stroke out and prepare it for my next trip. One problem I have is it's pretty loud at Idle which means I can't really hear other boaters when just sitting on the water having a chit-chat. Has anyone added some kind of material to the inside of the cover? My en...
