Ian boat looks very nice.
The only thing that makes me laugh though is how clean and tidy the workshop looks.
It looks like a palace compared to the workshops we have in Greece!!

Looking good !!!
Pardon my ignorance but are the tubes just stuck onto that narrow channel on the hull or is there more glass still to be installed on the hull.
Doesn't look like much to hold the tubes - but I know nothing

Where is that being built then Ian?
Have prosport expanded because it doesn't look much like the room stuck on the end of that cattle shed!
Good for them if they have.

build location
They have moved from the 'shed' you and I have seen to this rather palacial workshop. I am informed it is a temporary move, but may be a long temporary period. It certainly gives them scope to increase production and cut delivery schedules.
Much more modern and still on Guernsey.

I belive thats it, about a 2"-4" flange is average on most ribs.

Thanks Jono,
I thought I've seen some that kinda had about a 1/4 of the diameter of the tube recess for the tube to "sit" into. But my memory is not what it used to be !!
Must check mine now..

It's coming on Ian. It's disappointing we didn't get to see the structure before the deck went down. We've been waiting for that one.
When it looks like an ironing board and you see the twin outboards in the background, it makes you appreciate the importance of the deck to transom strength.

I was as well, but it's hard work getting photo's from them!
It may be easier now with the new works and further staff being taken on. It might be possible to get photo's of Jono's 9m before the deck is installed.

This photo was taken before the move to the new workshop.
Delivery is now back to the original schedule, mid March.

Roll on March
The front seats are fine for slim things like me, the extra space is allowed on the back seats for larger passengers who are kept near the liferings incase they go over the side (or are pushed in March)!
All four speakers are now black.

Ohhh shit........
all us NWR who've been "Ribbing" Ian for the past 8 months should start their diets today as I'm sure we'll have a lot of humble pie and "Wake" to eat come March

I have found it!!! Still with Suzuki, crated and labelled and sat on a pallet waiting for the call off for four weeks! The call off came today from me in a very restrained manner (NOT).
It WILL be in Guernsey early next week and if it aint on the transom by Thursday, Yamaha or Mercury will be selling another engine.
It appears to be a cock up by the Suzuki distributor.

So you're saying it's been at Suzuki GB in Crawley for 4 weeks and they didn't know?!!!! How do you miss one of the biggest outboards in the world? All sounds a bit dodgy to me.
