Re: Fixed DSC VHF set for Sib.
Hi guys
Made the fixtures and fixings myself.
And yes I have considered a Rib.
Unfortunately I bought a Sib first.
I think I've maxed my Sib out in customisations now.
Looking at a Whaly or Funyak next..........

Re: Fixed DSC VHF set for Sib.
I too was considering a funyak, they look very good and almost indestructible. They are heavy but if you're trailer launching anyway they make an ideal rib alternative. I've almost certainly decided just to wait till I can afford the RIB instead though.

Re: Fixed DSC VHF set for Sib.
Hi guys Martin I bought the aerial with my radio.
It was going to be fitted to a hard she'll boat with Cuddy but the buyer bailed out.
Got it for a song at my local chandlers.
Blootac I'm gonna wait till 2017 and buy something new.
Do like the bomb proof durability of the polyethylene tubs
I mounted the aerial today all looks good fingers crossed it was worth the hassle.
Just need to order some shiny new stainless M8 bolts and it's good to go.

Looking good Kaman .............one large erection for maximum performance (as the actress said to the bishop).....it'll be interesting to hear how it performs regarding distance gains when you get back out on the water

Re: Fixed DSC VHF set for Sib.
I'd be a bit concerned about it being a huge bull whip in the snotty stuff.
But as stated before hight is good.

Re: Fixed DSC VHF set for Sib.
Lol.
Dunno about VHF performance gains???
My tv picture has never been better
See if I can pick up sum of them Dutch movies
It's practically the same set up that my mates dad has on his Alaska 500 (same aerial / mounting height, similar VHF)
It is way better than my handheld.
Picks up transmissions that my handheld detect.
Much clearer when speaking to the Coastguard.
Fingers crossed it was worth the hassle.
Still have my handheld clipped on at all times as well mind!
