Now this is telepthy!!
I was wondering how you'll call it

HONEST!!!

and here it is WOW

...and my vote is with ARE YOU EXPERIENCED or failing that 'HAPPINESS IS A WET BEAVER' Stollen it from Beaver wet suits

PS does your mobile work now?

[Rogue Wave]

I've also been thinking about 'Beaver Patrol'

[DGR]

Ooooh - Freebird was (is?) the name of a make of Surfboard. It was cheap, nasty, heavy, and a b*gger to paddle. It was, however, bullet-proof which is why it was a popular hire-board.

Not that I'm comparing it to a Gemini ......but the name might have conotations...

Now 'Voodoo Chile' - that's cool - can I use that if you don't?!?

Dylan...

Don't be bossy Missus! Me an the boys are having some fun!

Help yourself Dylan! and to be honest toughness is very high on my list of priorities for a rib!

Manos Mobile will work again at 1930 hrs tomorrow. But be quick cos I have gone through three in the last fortnight!

Louise sorry for answering your question thinking it was Manos I've been snorting the Toulene again!

[jugglematt]

hi ho all
thanks for all your input and information .

sorry i havent replyed sooner but ive been away with work .
seems like the 5m rib might be worth considering ,we will have to do some more reserch .

i live in a small country town called "young " but mostly dive in Jervis Bay .

ill post further soon

thanks all

[The Jackeens]

Good choice 'Young' Man!!!!

Good idea to do further research !!! (you don't really want to listen to us lot. Well...mebbe the others but not us )

Post some piccies when ye finally take the plunge...

[jugglematt]

hi ho all
im actually enjoying all the opions , as its a bit hard to know when salesmen are making up stories . its great to hear from people actually using the boat .

the 505 looks good but we wanted to be able to do some launches form small ramps and weight is a bit of a consideration . we will just have to toss up the advantages of lighter small as opposed to bigger , more roomy better & ride .

hey edward.. the gemini 505 on boat point is in storage and the owner has gone away till the end of the year but ill kep my eye out .

if your serious about selling yours you should send me some boat photos and particulars of motor age and asking price ect.

id love if anyone out there is using their rib for diving if they could post some pics of their deck so i can see some ways of setting up

reguards

[Manos]

Matt when we use to go diving on the 5mtr Gemini we use to put the bottles inside the floor holds forward.
We could fit if I remember correctly 2+2 bottles in the holds and all the gear (BCs, fins wet suits etc) we use to store it in waterproof dive bags that were secured aft just behind the jockey seat.
Never used bottle racks since they take too much space and we also used the boat for going out and about too, towing skiis, donuts and going fishing. However if the boat is dedicated for diving a bottle rack aft is the best option.
Sorry, no photos boat has been sold 3 years ago (unfortunately)

[The Jackeens]

I've gone off you

Missus

[Phil Chitty]

Missus, it would be a pleasure as always !!

I will post more info on the regata thread that was started a week ago.

I know the organisers are looking for more safety boats for the racing if anyone else is interested.

Hmm....I feel another Littlehampton gathering coming on.

[The Jackeens]

Hurrah!!!!!Wotta gentleman.

We might learn the safety boat ways (never did it before) & help out ourselves in future

Thanks very much Phil.
