Tim, sorry but I couldn't resist it.
Yes the Solent/Tohatsu is an excellent hull which is very easily driven by even medium powered engines resulting in good fuel consumption figures or a very high top speed as we have seen with the original Tohatsu tests by RI and the later Solents with the 1.7 Mercruiser. If I was in the market for a 6 - 7m rib then I would be visiting Lee. Shame he has such a long waiting list, but that must say something for design.
Pete

Yep they are just like the Tohatsus in the rough wnen you are loading the power on. Broken anything lately? I don't think they are the best boats out there (it's Tim Griffin that says that) but they are a good price and well made
and safe enough.
