Imagine turning up at the slipway with that Rig setup. You'd get first dibbs at launch and recovery as no one would dare get in your way.

New tow vehicle.....

Have added a new (to us) tow vehicle so the boats can now travel together (CRD this time, the Black one is LPG)......and because I'm sad, a new number plate to go with it (fits well with the spirit of this thread).....

Now complete with new floor /having had some work to get her up to scratch, we're taking the D Class out to play in the next few days all ahead of a job she has starting in the near future.....will try and get some pics of that Rig too /when we do.....

Just a few more shots, the Ribtec 890SX, this time with the Ford F350.

The aluminium hulled Zodiac Yachtline normally powered by a Yamaha 20hp.

The roll up inflatable under the bed normally powered a Mariner 15hp.

A few of the outboards in the back yard.

The 5.6m Dockitjet aluminium RIB with a 200 Suzuki 2 stroke. Almost finished.

The little RIB with the 9.9 is not home at the moment and a couple of the hard boats are out, we will not talk about the hard boats...

I seem to collect any poor home less boats.

Ive got a diesel bmw 320, it gets an awsome 50mpg. Had a Subaru wrx before great for towing would get 10 to 15 mpg.
I like the jeep CRD's
