Re: avon sr4 found no engine
I don't love them (with a console, no idea in porn spec).. they freak me out. I would rather be in my sibs. Even up front with filler extension. Something about being sat on a console so close to bow just does not feel right to me. And I can't really put my finger on it!
I might have a different view after having been sibbing again.

You have got to respect their ability to handle the ruff stuff for a 4m rib. We all know length in the Solent is king but these little boats take some rough stuff.neil h wrote:I don't love them (with a console, no idea in porn spec).. they freak me out.

Re: avon sr4 found no engine

Not 100% sure but think that was Matt Warner in a Avon S3.45 Supersport with a 25hp Mercury on the backmattswan2512 wrote:neil h wrote: what was that rib Neil that matey had on the round Portsmouth trip when we set out from camber docks as that seemed to handle the fun stuff well and can't of been more than 4m

Re: avon sr4 found no engine
But Si's Supersport has a 40 on the back end. It must fly if you have the bottle to open it to WOT.
