F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

All, I have this boat trailer kicking around (as you do!) and its in my way so it needs to go. Basically I want £50 for it. Tyre's are good, as are the bearings and hubs and it tows fine. Winch has been removed as it defective but I'm sure I can find a replacement if required. All in all not a bad l...

The Igloo coolers are decent and very robust. They usually crop on offer at Costco if you have one near you?

Thanks for the warm welcome :-)

I'm not sure I can help much on the SIB front as I don't have one and my RIB is little on the large size and other than that I have some hard boats :-(
Anyway it's nice to be here.

Peter - its getting close to a Vintage - What motor is it?

Like Blootac says, fire in a bit of fairy liquid and that will help break it down and then drain it out.

Hi,

As its a small engine I would stick the business end in a bucket of water and run it up. Wheely bins work well saves messing about with flushing adapters etc etc

Hi there Simon and :welcome to F-Ribs and Sibs :D Lovin those classic outboards on FB mate, you've got quite a collection 8-) Great to have you aboard with fellow like-minded boaters, always willing to help each other and get together out on the water :drive :cheers Paul Thanks Paul. Yes I do seem ...

Hi All So I'm Simon from Bristol. Some of you may know me from Facebook. Anyway I'm mostly a ribber and classic boat fan, I also posses an unhealthy interest in vintage outboards :D Always happy to help out and always up for a day on the water. Look forward to catching up with some of you soon Simon

8hp is carb restricted essentially a different jet size.

Keep any eye out on all the useful places and one will pop up for sure. So people are living in dreamland when it comes to valuing their outboards so haggle hard

Hi Andy

What year are the motors you are considering?

Typically the 8 and 9.9 are similar block size just different carb setup. If it were me I would put the 9.9 on the back as although it's a small power gain it will make a difference if you are loading up your boat or face punching a tide.
