Congratulations.

So you ended up buying a rib longer than 6m, with a 2-stroke, which presumably cost more than £6k?

Nice one Jetski. So next time I'm out on the water and a Red flash go streaking past, I'll know it was you then.

*Que sharp intake through teeth*

Well the front end is a Scorpion, middle section is a Humber and the tansom is off an old Dunlop inflatable. Is the bluetack still holding the engine on?



When's your first trip out on it? Where's your cruising ground going to be? From pictures I've seen on here and what I've read in the past Pepsea sounds like a very smart boat

yep, she's a smart boat allright, albeit in a bit of a state when Jimbo on here bought her. He then spent some time doing her up, before moving her onto Pete7.

so, she has a bit of history on the Forum!

She's got even more history than that! Pete7 actually owned her twice

Well done, she's a nice boat.

Here she is off Gosport on the way to Yarmouth last year.

Andrew at the helm, Viv and Pete hanging on behind.

Oh, nearly forgot, if Pete has left the Painter on, remember its longer than the boat, eh Pete
