Can you actually get checker-pattern flexible material suitable for tubes or is that just lots and lots of some sort of Max Power stick-on-carbon-fibre sticky-backed-plastic stuff?
The aft end of the starboard tube looks like its been sealed like a can of Pringles.
It would probably show up like an aircraft carrier on radar...
I bet he's really pleased at the number of views his item's getting.

I remember looking at some similar completely aluminium RIB's in a garden in Kingston/Richmond 12+ years ago. I forget the company name, but was a very small custom one man band builder, doing hulls from 4-7.5m from memory. I recall on the smaller boats he liked fitting the Mercury jet drive outboards (25hp I think?).
