Well, since it's coming home to Wales after months of intense longing, it should probably be called 'Hiraeth'

Horray.  Well done codders, that is quite some occasion for Ribnet - the lanching of HMS Cod!
You should launch a ribnet naming competition...

It's about time!
Hey Codprawn, Alright! We finally get to see your boat. I LIKE it! Very sleek looking ride... nice touch with the decking. Decent beam on it as well. You will not regret the walkaround space it has that some boats are sorely lacking. Although I am relatively new to this forum I feel as if I have known you longer due to the numerous exchanges of posts with you in this forum. I am sure many others possibly feel the same... Good job! I hope (know) you will enjoy many days out on the blue smashing some waves. From the look of it, the boat should serve you well. congrats!!

Looks well, Another Prosport on the water. Get Jason to fit the stainless steel work over the screen to finish off a real good rib. I cannot fault mine now it has trunks fitted.
Are you bringing it back to Wales by sea ?

Yup you are wrong - it's actually a new engine - the last of the Suzuki 2 strokes 2004 model - warrenty only starts when it's commisioned.
Smallest and lightest 225 there is apparently - and hopefully not that much worse on fuel than a newer design!!!

I suspect thats a forlorn hope...........but guess that you saved a bit of dough compared to an opti/hpdi/e-tec/4stroke. That should pay for a lot of fuel.

Looks nice Codders. Ref the Hole in the Stern, I guess they're gonna blank it off as all the deck water will gush down there otherwise.
Did you say if you're sailing her home or going by Ferry, would make an ineresting thread if you first major voyage was to South Wales.
Any thoughts on Names for her?

IF I could afford the petrol I would be bringing it back by sea but my discovery does 28mpg as opposed to 3mpg for the boat!!!
I will prob be coming back to Weymouth or Poole by boat and then onto a trailer to tow home.

if you can get 28 to the gallon out of a disco then you are doing well, and you certainly wont get that when towing!!!
