F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

hello,

long time no see, well here I am.

and the reason is that I change my SIB. same brand OB, but a bit longer, this one has 380 cm.

why, because we are four, and two of us are became bigger, and to maintain the portability, and at the same increase the interior space, we made the change for a 20 cm longer, SIB. gain space in the rear of the SIB and at the front.

the propulsor a Suzuki df15, is going to maintain is place, and think that in this process we are going to achieve a better cruise speed.

this one, as the one befor, bring a bow bag, and a seat bag, with cushion. seems to me that is better made, and if its glue or welded, don't know, the joins are very well done, better than the previous one.

going to put some transom wheels, and a couple of d rings in the transom also, to push something or someone, and also to secure the boat to the trailer.

this time, going to put the transom wheels, near the bottom of the SIB, to gain more clearance and leverage. if you don't know, I am the "OX" that pull the sib fully loaded to the water,,, the trailer is just for transportation. (you don't imagine the war that the boat people do in boat ramps,,, prefer my way, its a one way, on both sides, and at the same I maintain my "bodybuilder" fisic

some pictures of the transformation.... have a video... in progress..

Welcome back António (The OX)
You did make me laugh about your 'OX' comment ...... I don't think I'll ever forget that video
Nice upgrade mate it is amazing what a few extra centimetres can give you in useable space, particularly with a growing family.
Mounting the launch wheel brackets as low as you have makes sense particually to protect the outboard as you come into shallow water to beach/port
Have lots of fun and keep us posted with your boating adventures in that lovely climate

Welcome back António, Though i feel i keep up to date with you one facebook.. ?
Great looking set up and as Paul says, in that climate you have you're one lucky man

Jealous of your location I have a few months wait till I get good weather. Sitting here rocking in my chair awaiting to use my new engine and boat setup.

hello,
you see me in a tshirt, but the temperature of the air was 14, and the water 15... for me it was freezinnnnnng... but it was the best setup to go and make the first inspection of my new "MAJO"... so don't be envy,,, it was a lucky no wind day...

so naw if the weather permits, will go to take a ride just before the end of the year.

have a question:: have a tinytach that give both hours and rpm, but the rpm are always changing up and dawn, he was linked first to one spark, and now in both sparks, and the problem remains,,,, what am I doing wrong?

Looks like it is returning back to the default setting.
Make sure you have wrapped the sensing wire tightly around the HT lead at least 3-4 times.
Your outboard is a twin cylinder 4 stroke so fires ever other revolution.
Here's a copy of the instructions to guide you

hello Paul, tks for the replay,
my tinytac is not like the one you show, he does not have programing buttons. its the most simple that you can have.
I'm going to rewire to the sparks... will see... i will give feed back.

regards,
