F-Rib 375 (foldable Rib) - My Boat / My Build

Here you can document your Outboards, SIB's and RIB's re-building challenge.
Restoration is satisfying, a great way to learn, and usually a way of getting something special whilst saving money..
Please make a "New Topic" for EACH build.

It is a lovely colour Martin and the spray dodger look ideal.

Can you tell me where you got the drop nose pins from for the launch wheels because I have not been successful in finding any suitable.

A difficult one Martin.. but I can think of one or two guesses that may have happened ? :?

A) You were seasick on your last outing and didn’t rinse it out very well ?
B) It turned green with envy when it saw an Aerotec deep V hull ?
C) You are changing your religious beliefs from the Blue paint to Green ?
D) You are applying release agent to the hull to clone it .. so using it as a mould
E) You are making the bow box you promised showing how it is done ?

But as Im stumped for an answer have you any more ideas what Martin is up to guys ? :?:

I'm going with him making a mould to modify this in fibre glass to fit his hull :idea:

I have no interest in seeing matt's darkside thankyou :gay

Now we are getting close with the train of thought though...
Perhaps it's a shower tray ?
