All I can say is Stunning Jono.
Same colour tubes that I was as well.
Did you do the finishing off Jono or was it the work of Osprey?
Be sure to post some action shots of her and I will be very interested how she performs with a 115 on the back.

The fit out was completed by us, it would be a long way to take it to Belgium for the fit out.
She tops out at about 40mph, we havnt been out in the flat yet, the craft is being handed over on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday after the coding for 6 for commercial use on Monday Morning.

Thats not a bad turn of speed from a 115.
I thought that the builders in Coventry might do the fitting?
Can please tell me Jono which Items of kit on board are supplied by Osprey ie: A frame seats ect?
I hope you do really well selling the Vipermax series, certainly suitably impressed from this corner  .

Hi
Our workshop is in Coventry, it was fitted out there and sea trailed and valeted in Pwllheli.
Fiberglass & Tubes are Osprey supplied, everything else is from PBS's suppliers
The fit out is 100% with no expense spared.

Yep, we don't like the plastic fittings, I know of a boat on a mooring that dried out on the mooring chain, the plastic bung got cracked and the boat got swamped.
I like the brass ones.
