New S.I.B.

New sib arrived today £255.00 of fleabay. ordered B.H. so quick service.

I'm impressed with the quality of the pvc tubes which appear to be robust and quite thick. I know that its a wooden floor and not the better airfloor but it will do for now, also its pretty heavy, so me thinks that some wheels might be in order. Which would be the best ones for this ? A few pics...

For slips and hard sand (for your size of SIB) the cheap plastic roller wheels are OK. No good on soft sand or pebbles.

I've just bought a set of Waveline dingy wheels from Force 4 for my sib for easy pulling up the shingle foreshore. Hope that helps as there's only 4 screws on each mounting on the transom.

you don't need wheels Kerny, just launch straight off the canal bridge, and best bit you can carry it past the locks
