F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

Thanks for the replies guys. 9-R I think I'll have a look around for a couple of cheap decent second hand props with different pitches and have a play about with them. Once ive found one that works best i think ill get a nice stainless one. Would you recommend a 4 blade over a 3 blade??. Peter M Unf...

So I'm currently on holiday at pentewan sands in st austel Cornwall. I've managed to get out on the boat a couple of times. And when the tubes and keel are inflated to the recommended 3psi. The underside is like a drum. so didn't see the need to inflate any more. Anyway when I go from idle to wot I ...

That go through the the front 3 D rings. Once the straps are tightened it's is very secure. The tow ball of the puller sits inside t...

Yes mate very easy to apply. Wet the boat down first. Spray the cleaner on one area at a time. Scrub with brush,cloth or sponge. Leave for a couple of minutes then hose off. Repeat on the rest of the boat if all the boat needs doing. The finish is even easier to apply. Just wait for the boat to dry....

I use these two products from polymarine. Not the cheapest but give brilliant results

My problems dont seem to as severe as the ones you had. I feel as though i just need to be a bit more patient and spend a bit of time ex...

Thanks for the reply guys. I feel as thought I'm just going to have to spend a bit of time experimenting with different trim settings and pressures. Although I feel the tubes are at the correct pressure. The keel could take a few more psi I think. I'm not too sure which way to go with the new prop t...

If you watch this video when it gets to about 33 seconds in you notice a lot more spray coming from the front and sides that must have been when I tried to open her up a bit but you notice me backing off straight away because it just dosnt feel right

Hi Harrison Your correct I have had it a while. But the speeds o thought I were getting were not correct. :oops: At the time I was in slightly choppy water trying to control the boat and keep her in a straight line whole trying to read the GPS Speedo on my phone. I did manage to get a correct readin...

Ok so a quick update. Pugwash2 and myself have just come back from a week in Scotland at loch long. While we were there I had a bit of a mess about with the different pin settings on the transom bracket. I started off on the second hole and it was very difficult to get on a plane the bow just wouldn...
