Ferk me.

I don't fancy the fuel bills

Wonder what their break even point is for the number of people carried.

By the way Paul - who has the fastest tubes you've made? I have a feeling mine would be close on official timing, but do you have any other customers with faster than 91.5mph on GPS for instance?

paul tilley · 08 July 2008, 13:24

i expect yours are quickest that i have made as my own company but i did make and repair the 120mph tubes for mats lingren on his rib cat whilst at henshaws

And how long did they last?

paul tilley · 08 July 2008, 19:52

before we changed the shape of the tube end and added deflecters to redirect the force of the spray at the stern ,nine layers of fabric was not strong enough

Great photos Paul.

As I said when I was with you picking up the Aquaflyte, the new website is a major improvement - nice one

Outboard just arrived for Aquaflyte (as have seat pods) so should have enough material for a refurb thread on here soon.

paul tilley · 09 July 2008, 13:39

Andrew since you brought steves aquaflyte he has had his ribeye stolen

send some photos when its finished

Gutted

Poor b*gger - that's really tough luck. Did the b@stards get his new trailer as well or was it nicked from on the water.

Course I'll post some piccies as it starts to take shape although at the moment I've just moved house so there is some pressure to empty boxes before playing with toys

paul tilley · 09 July 2008, 21:00

nicked the lot including new trailer
