Bulk Buy EPIRB - Whose Interested?

[Knot Yet]

Following Gibbo's recent swim there has been some discussion on EPIRB's.

There is the possibility of some extra discount if a bulk order is desired - so before I hassle poor Malthouse further I thought it might be an idea to check who would like one (in principal) and then we can see what sort of discount we could twist out of Martin

Hi Knot Yet....

I would be interested in principle.....

PS I wouldn't need the free RNLI membership at £64.....if that helps with negotiations

Not wishing to do Martin out of sales, last year we were all interested in the waterproof durrocomm phone and many wished to buy but changed as prices dictated. Not sure if Martin can gain a good discount but worth a try (malthouse) otherwise the London Boat show is another good place to ask for deals.
I think Martin had some probs last time we all put our hands up for a phone-

but although I have the larger I would be interested in costings on a smaller one also- I also dont need RYA membership

Thanks Chaps - the London Boat Show is the alternative and as we are going more than happy to haggle for the group - but I figured pushing the business through Martin as the first option seemed a good thing to do.

I've recently bought through Martin and even as a lone purchaser he was still able to give a very healthy discount which was much appreciated and next day delivery - so I'm very biased

Perhaps in fairness to other RIBnet trade members - if you wish to also place a quote for the final number of EPIRBs you would be more than welcome - please just PM me

Just to make the distinction - PLB is not an EPIRB. PLB is registered to you, so you can take on any boat. EPIRBs are registered to the boat (usually). Other difference, more obviously, is the bulk and design of the two.

Following from other thread, there is not an automatic PLB. EPIRBs can be manual or auto (ie water-activated). The float-free models also have a hydrostatic release from the mounting.

C'mon you lot, you know you want one!

Think about it, a "Send Helicopter Here" button in your shirt pocket

[PeterM]

I 'may' be - depending on 'discounted' price .

[Knot Yet]

No worries Pete - that's the same for all of us I think - especially with Christmas hitting the wallet this month
