My new Boat

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.

Hope this one is up to the usually excellent spec of the honwave hulls. Excited to see some pics after so long trying to get out on the water.

Good stuff and hopefully that'll be the end of your woes Paul :yay
I'll bet you can't unpack, inflate it, deflate it and get it back into it's original cardboard box :idea: :lol:
All the very best mate and happy sailing ahead :drive
:cheers
