RIBEX photos

Well where are they???

Come on let's see them for those of us who couldn't make it!!!

Nasher · 12 May 2009, 22:28

I didn't take many, but I'll reduce them down in size now and post them in a bit. They are just rubbish shots looking out over the pontoons.

The only two exciting boats there for me were the eXtreme 30:-
8.3M LOA
Volvo D2 220HP
4mm thick Carbon Fibre throughout
Total weight including Engine and leg only 875Kgs
Top speed 57knots
Want One, but I'd stick a 300 in it.

And the 4M fury with a 60HP yammy and Handlebar steering.

Here you go.

Said they were nothing special, except the extreme 30.

Yep, apart from the Extreme, they are shite.

The Pascoe was rather nice. We were doing about 76 knots when I went out. Had a rather good sound system as well. But then at £350k (£20k just for the sound system!) you'd expect so.....(photo knicked from someones facebook profile)

Oh yes, I still like the Artic Blue 37 cabin, and so does Mrs Nasher.
But it was the same boat at the show that's been doing the rounds for over 2years, and its beginning to show that it's had some use.

Isn't it nice when we can all agree on something

I take it the show wasn't all it's meant to be then?

Didn't that Paragon 25 take your fancy???

Tim M · 12 May 2009, 23:34

I think the Paragon 25 is a great boat. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the price tag.

That Ribeye in the distance looks like it has crap balance .. feck me . .. you'd be looking at your breakfast in a chop with that

Tim M · 12 May 2009, 23:38

Ribeyes ability to tie a boat up is also somewhat questionable! This was the salesman's attempt, with two other boats rafted outside

Now now that Pascoe looks just as bad if not worse!!!

Any photos of this one?

Hi all, long time no posting over here I hope you are all doing just fine?

I worked on the Scorpion stand again this year driving the new 6.5m. On Saturday morning I hitched a ride in a larger boat & took a few snaps:

If its the one I'm thinking of it belongs to the father of a girl my eldest lad goes to school with.
I've been trying to persude him how nice she must be, and what the benefits of getting to know her could be, but he's not interested, fool.

Show was OK, I thought it was smaller than last year, and less boats on the water. Trip over and back in our boat was good, nice family day out, and meeting up with friends from Ribnet is aways nice.

The Paragon looks nice, and is obviously very capable.
But the completly enclosed wheelhouse doesn't suit me for our type of boating, as feeling the wind in your hair is part of the expeiance for me.
