Somethings not here?

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 16:11

Can you see what it is yet?

simmons0 · 08 February 2004, 16:12

OOOH, its the remote control trailer i saw at LBS!

Have you bought one?

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 16:13

Guess what else we bought?

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 16:16

Simmons0 - that was quick, I thought I might drag this out for a bit.

simmons0 · 08 February 2004, 16:17

How much was the trailer, because ive got to buy myself a new trailer in the next 2 months.

Do you thing it will last?
Are all the electrics waterproofed well enough?
How badly will it rust?
And what sort of warrenty do they offer?

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 16:21

Cant remember how much the trailer was, it came with the boat, but I wouldn't buy another Bramber one anyway.

All the electrics are waterproof, except for the box ontop of the pole, which should not get in the water hopefully.

It hasd a 2 year guarantee, and they say it will not rust.

Do they fit the electronics to a normal trailer?

Gecko helmets?

Yes they can fit it to any single or double axle trailer apperently. They did not have to weld anything either.

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 16:27

Cookee, correct, and very comfy and warm they are too.

We also got a 10ft blow up toy, but thats for a totaly different thread/forum.

Cookee · 08 February 2004, 16:47

are they the new ones with the blow up inners - saw them at Mets in Holland - I think I might be able to justify a trip to see them and sort out new helmets for this years racing!

chrisallse · 08 February 2004, 16:47

Is there any danger of them tipping if you dropped of the slip?

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 16:51

Cookee,

Yes they are the Mark 10 with the inflateable inners. Very comfortable, and easily adjustable with an inflation tube, even when you are wearing them.

They also fit a lot off head sizes, from my 7 year old boy up to my head, and the wife says I've got a big one!

Having had two Mk 9 gecko's for a year or so, and having taken delivery of two Mk 10's recently i can not express how much better they are in one sentance.

If you own Mk9's (or older) and can in anyway justify the £130 ood get a Mk10.

There is a clandestine on board, the horrible man with the glasses.

Compliments for your child.

Richard B · 08 February 2004, 17:36

Funnily enough, I decided that for £130 I would stick with my "old" mk9 (we now have one of each) - and I do wonder how long the inflatable lining will last for?

Ribald · 08 February 2004, 22:03

I'm with you on that one Richard. Scurvey Crew has just bought the Mk10 and I expressed concern about longevity of the inflatable bit. They also look like they could be a bit "sweaty" in slightly warmer conditions.

GC - Didn't go for the tinted visors then? Very fetching they are and do a grand job of cutting down the glare although I've been told I look like Darth Vader in mine. The trailer idea I like - could be just the thing for manouvering around the compound to the slip at ECA (big electric winch supplied to launch with). Who are the makers please?

gingercoastie · 08 February 2004, 22:15

they are made by www,powrlaunch.co.uk and yes the e is supposed to be missing.
