No idea, but as he's done it before (he says) I'm leaving it upto him. So long as the A Frame remains upright on the rib I'll be happy. The SS cables do need to be detachable to prevent injury moving round the deck. Not sure how the D rings are positioned to prevent creating a triping hazard though.

Are you just having his little bilge pump on a float switch in the back or are you having something else?

Also spec'd twin trunks for faster disposal of water. Don't like relying on electrics alone. Infact will probably never use the pump.
Jason bought the moulds of someone on the mainland. He told me all this as well and as well I can't remember all details. Far more interested in the product.

Steve, Pro Sport have been trading longer than this so these weren't the moulds. Don't know where they've gone though. Were they leisure rib moulds or racing boats?
Based a long way from you! Phil (I'll make it whatever) Davies is close to you, or at least in the same County. But don't rely on him!

Yer i though about trunks.
How much did he charge for them?
Im thinking if i do use the standard bilgepump then ill also throw in a high capacity pump the really shift water out.
The little pump on the float switch is left live even when the battery is switched off. If you leave it on a mooring then the pump will automatically bail out while its sat on the mooring.
He also sell little solar pannels the trickle charge the battery while its at rest.

Didn't ask cost, just asked for them to be fitted. It's just a matter of a short pipe through the transom and then the trunk fitting.
Live in Bramhall, Stockport, Cheshire with intentions of moving next year to Wales as I am in the same position as simmons0, I am to far from water.
