Humber 4 meter Rib

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's a funny thing, you forget what the boat looked like when you see it every day!

Good work. Andy... and thanks for the wheel clean. All my pics of my equally orange humber are in a folder called 'number orangeness '....

Must be getting that nice fuzzy feeling now it's being bolted together...

Keep it going.... ;)

Not sure it's a fuzzy feeling????

It's been noted many times before that i'm all about the build and once somethings finished i quickly lose interest???
I am enjoying the build though :D
Most nights i tend to manage at least a couple of hours out there, even at this time of year...
Went out tonight to start templating the floor, but got in the zone and managed to get the whole floor in.
Too dark by the time i was finished for pictures though.
Decided it was easier to just do the whole deck and then cut out the floor where the console sits...
That way i don't need to struggle in such a confined space of a 4m boat with center console.

I've never been so aware of my Stanley knife though! Especially with a new blade in it :o

Know what you mean re the knife !

Is it this stuff you put down - this was an Avon project of mine from a few years ago … I rushed it ( of course) … and was never happy with the edges ..

Keep the fuzzy feeling going !

Looks very similar, but i went with Grey and black instead of Teak.
I think the Teak in an orange boat might be pushing it a bit too far! :rofl

There is progress, but unfortunately every time i finish it's dark!
The floor was cut today and the console fitted.
Tomorrow evening the plan is to trim up the edges and then hopefully the full reveal :D
