New member cotland - Refurbished Tornado 5.8

Hi all

New member here saying hi! I've had a RIB for a couple of years but bought just before COVID so was unable to use it for a couple of years, and then had reliability issues that meant I got little boat time. Fast forward to now, and a complete refurb of my boat means I'm back up and running and ready to learn te ways of the RIB

I'm afraid I'll ask a lot of questions and not be able to give much advice for now, but thank you for allowing me to join your community.

My refurbished RIB is a 2000 5.8 Tornado, with entirely new instrumentation, tube, a Suzuki 140 and a restored hull. Photos attached.
