Learning all the time, hopefully never complacent.

I get a lot of pleasure tinkering with it off the water (since I'm in full time employment) so I totally understand the enjoyment you guys have customising and kitting your SIBs to your needs. Thanks for sharing.

You've gone completely over to the Soft Side.
I'm sticking with the Darkside

I owned a Royal Marines rigid raider for a while with a 50 rude on it now they are scary and a rough ride makes a SIB like an arm chair in comparison.

Bow riders are fine as long as you have a couple of small children sat on the bow dangling their legs over the side….
