Hi Yakayale,

If you had pressed the "Next page" button at the bottom of the page and looked around a bit you would have found this:
http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14678

Otherwise, use the search function at the top of the page

To the rest of us, I think you should stuff all the threads into a "Leeway" section.
Or just to annoy the **** out of people, link each request thread to another request thread, to another request thread!

Yep there is definitely room for a separate forum on the subject

Have to say though, all the comments from people who actually own them seem to be "pro", and having checked out the prices, I have to say it would be on my shortlist if I was buying a new rib, scorpions and things like that being just a weeeee bit out of my price range

Yakayale, put "Leeway" into the forum search function, set aside a couple of hours, grab 3 or 4 beers and read on, there are "quite a lot of opinions on the subject" to put it mildly

Dear YAKAYALE, I'm about 2 weeks away from Leeway finishing my Rib. I'll be more than happy to tell you all about it then. So far I've been more than happy with the service, price , etc ...........

Please feel free to pop over if you get chance. We can arrange a demo run in one of our ribs to show you the excellent sea handling ability and the quality of our craft. we have a waiting list for the 6.3m so i would advise to place an order fast if that is the size you are after. we can offer excellent prices on our 8.3 and 7.3 for a short time period only.

Please do a search for other thoughts from other customers. we have 100% satisfaction from all our customers. we are getting quite a cult following for our range of ribs and as a request we are looking into a range of clothing with the leeway logo.

we are ever increasing our rang of ribs and have plans for a pro 6.3m. with moulded internal deck with moulded rear bench. we have new craft in the pipeline i.e 9.3m and 10.3m ribs.

we are allso just looking into locating to a new factory with water frontage, pontoons and a slipway.

Was having a chat to chap who has one in the marina here and was very pleased with it.

Looked like the 6.3 version.

We have one with a 115 optimax and are very pleased with it.

Brilliant idea, why not rebadge something from the "SPLASHdown" range of clothing, or buy a load of Armani and replace the labels with your own!!!!

To be honest I don't know a lot about the whole rib business, well the fiberglass side. But to be honest this Leeway argument is coming up so often its quite annoying now. And if looking at some pictures of the other ribs that have the same hull why aren't you having a go at the their builders. I think its time Leeway was left alone to build his ribs with no confrontation about who designed his hulls.

The reason they dont want to pick on other rib builders is because they know they will be taken to court qiucker than they can say "OH B*LLOKS" and its easy to pick on the new smaller business.

I have had a lot of free advitising from it though so cant complain. evryone knows LEEWAY when they see the quality and see a good price i get even more orders.

No Lee, it's not even really coz you're a splasher.
It's because you're a LIAR and a JERK and you don't even have the guts to be honest with people! Those of us well enough in 'the know' to see what's happening, take your lies as an insult to our intelligence! Simple as that mate.
