What next.. at 3.1 ish m?

Post by PeterM » 21 Oct 2021, 09:52

Having left SIB ownership last night with the sale of my takacat in looking for its replacement;

3.1m ish
V Air floor ( not sausage keel and deck)
No sticking out transom tabs
The ability to mount 'normal' launch wheels
Able to take my 9.9 suzuki
Less then £900

Of course the ideal would be the new honwave t32... but price may prohibit that.

Has anyone seen anything 'non branded' that might tick all those boxes? A honwave copy without the transom tabs?

Just lack of use and looking to go more traditional again at some point. My wish list above doesn't really exist as far as I can find right now.

I'm hoping into 2022 things will be a bit more normal for me and I'll get the chance to use sibs more. Lots of things apart from covid stopped me getting out in 2021. Family cancer, family suicide etc.. a fairly shitty year tbh.!

:cry: Sorry to hear that Pete, hope things get better.

The T32 is without doubt the one that fits the bag, pretty sure you’ll pick up a newish (2021) model for that money.. I’ll keep my eyes peeled and let you know if I see one.
I’m unaware of any other V hull sib that fits all that criteria.

Martin :cheers

That does indeed sound like a bad year. I do hope things get better for you.

Thanks both.. however... I always remember there are other worse off than me .

Anyhow.... I'll be on the hunt for a new style t32ie... or until a copy arrives from the same factory in 2022.... that can take sensible wheels and without any damage/ repairs etc...
