Thanks Terry. It would be nice to keep this thread about showing your rib so I’ll start a new thread on aux motors if that’s ok.
Pop some pics of your new toy up here, so our rib pics are all together. Hope others will follow. :thumbsup

Thanks, yes it is very stable and will go a lot faster than that. I was at about 2/3 power as it was just too damn cold to go any faster even with the large screen in front.

Lovely boat, turns like it’s on rails, and gets air over big chop but never felt out of control. The boat is far more capable than I would ever test it’s limits to.

Will upload a couple of pictures.

:thumbsup
