A few guys have made there own ones, and I believe someone has. Factory one for a Frib, there's a thread on here about Martin making his own, I am in the process of making one and it's going to be a lot less than £80, use the search function and I'm sure you will find some info

That spray dodger in the video you've seen is mine and is specificity made to fit the F-Rib range.
Here's one fitted to a 275
The retainers used are like these which hook on to the rubbing strake
but dependant on which sib you own this 'hook' on the rubbing strake may or may not exist for these retainers to be used.

The standard F-Rib one looks good. I have seen it on Pauls boat.
Money is going to be tight for a while now, so I am going to look at making one.

Ahhh, a bit of DIY james...
Can't fault you.
I'm working on the mkii in my head, this one might fold down and have windscreen wipers on for when I follow Paul B's Wave machine

Nice 
and looking very 
........they are indeed a great 'mod' to keep all the passengers dry for a more pleasurable trip especially if it's choppy or you're getting a move on
Liking your sibs name on the boat but despite enlarging the image I can't make out how it's been applied, any clues

The lettering is just 7 year vinyl, stuck on mate. I placed it there, because that strip is nice and smooth, and probably better adhesion.!
And there is a story behind the name, but will leave that for another time.

Hey Psycho
Could you put me in touch with your friend who makes these professionally
I'd like one for an Aerotech and I know my work is not to his standard
Better I do what I do well and buy one from he or she
Cheers, Iain
