Humber Ocean Pro 6.3

[bogib]

Can anyone on here help me with photos of Humber Ocean Pro 6.3 on water, does the tubes touch on water when parked at pontoon ?

A friend of mine is seriously thinking of one and we will most likely pop over for test ride later in the week.

Help would be highly appreciated.

No the RIB will not be used for diving purpose, more for transporting purpose across bay with people and their belongings, today he is using his Narwhal

Sometimes it's really comforting to know that your boat isn't going to wobble at the wrong time

We were trundling along at 25kts at 5000rpm through a Clyde chop last night quite happily. Burns about 1L per mile. Gets onto the plane pretty smartly (now we've cleaned the hull) and goes on to about 35kts in calmer waters with two plus dog and full tanks (but the fuel consumption accelerates to match )

We've carried 2 + 6 pax, which is OK but really needs more HP to be comfortable. Probably a 150 or 175 would do it, but the transom is rated for 200HP so there's room to grow

My Ocean pro 6.3 did about 34 knots with a 115 4 stroke.

Was that behind the Toyota or down a cliff ?

Ooh! Some people can be so bitchy!



Some Humbers may be a little on the, ahem, lardy side of the BMI scale; but at least they give you something to hang on to...

Hi Bogi,

Yes, the Ocean Pro sits with the tube in teh water at rest.

Makes it stable... and helps to see inside if you'er a seal!

Three of us took of Friday night to Manchester where we hired car and drove to Haysham for ferry across to Douglas IoM where Ian aka Cypman picked us up very early Saturday morning and what a hospitality we got, we had a little rest at his home before heading to Loxey to view the boat and launch it for a spin, we found the boat, engine and trailer in perfect condition and the ride was great although no big waves so the deal was done, my friend has bought himself a new bigger rib "Lemon Zest" which shall be in Iceland in 3 weeks.

Ian, again thank you for you great hospitality and for showing us around on your beatiful island, which is in many way like ours, not to mention the mountain Snaefell... which deserves its name and mistery that day like her sister mountain in Iceland covered in sky (fog).
