Here's my old Redcrest. It will plane 1 up with a Tohatsu 3.5!!
So will my Rover 311, but it's 5" too long to show here!

Iwould prefer something bigger,But as my first venture in boating its ok plus it all fits in the yaris it will plane with 2 up but you have to shift about a bit to do its top speed at the mo is 13mph on the gps with 2 people and other stuff on board.

ASTRA What size horse power have you got on yours? and what speeds you making?,,,,,,,,,,as the seago 2.70m is rated at 6hp max is your sib that length

thornbackflound · 02 April 2009, 19:22

Heres a couple more

astra · 02 April 2009, 21:48

Hi there,Mine is a 2.7m air deck with infatable air deck and keel and it topped out at at 13mph on still water on the bristol docks with a 6hp 4 stroke tohatsu (dont tell the harbour master) with me and the mrs on,It took some shifting about a bit but it was the fastest we got that was with a few bits and bobs on board,Hope to go to porthcawl on the next nice day and see how it performs on some salt water

astra · 02 April 2009, 21:52

Oh and come on sibers more pic's,Any people local to bristol looking to go out on a cruise on some salt water give me a shout,Cause its me first time on the salty water

astra · 02 April 2009, 21:57

Sorry for the spelling people had a few beers,Mrs picked me up on it

Nasher · 02 April 2009, 22:28

Heres a few of the Smaller Nashers Zodiac and 4HP Merc XR0.2

As I can't leave anything alone, I've converted it to an Air deck.

Total cost buying used and using elbow grease stands at under £200, its great fun for them and me. They love it and ferry us back and forth to the anchored bigger boats when we're in Devon.

Them in it, me being taken for a run by little Nasher my youngest, etc.

Sorry about the quality of the images.

Nasher.

That's great Nasher,
I've just talked my wife into letting the kids come out with me. Can't wait! Nothing like spending quality time with them as well as still getting afloat

JSP · 03 April 2009, 15:25

Brothers Tender. suzumar (?) with Engine to match. Sorry haven't got a clue what Hp.

Starfish · 07 April 2009, 12:50

This is the only pic I have so far of Serenity. She's currently lavishing in my sitting room undergoing a leak test. You can tell the missus if you want, I divorced her about 30 years ago.

Serenity is a Quicksilver QS300 but I have no idea how old she is. I also have Selva 15HP 2 stroke to coax her along once we hit ra watter.

I'm new here and to SIB's, I'm currently switching from SOT kayaks to my wee SIB. I did have a little Avon RIB a long time ago but that was a joke.

Nice to meet y'all.

Hi Nasher - when you were getting the SIB for the youngsters where did you start looking? I'm hoping to do the same so have just started looking for a cheap 2nd hand SIB and wonderered if you could give me any pointers as to where to start? I'll be at Ribex in a few weeks so I guess there'll be a few new ones there, but I'd prefer 2nd hand as it'll be a lower risk if the kids trash/sink it!
Thanks
Trevor
