They probably have a Diversity policy which means you'd qualify

I see they've got two of most things on board. That just means they'll have twice the inconvenience when those Navman displays decide to absorb some briny!

For resizing use this - it's so easy

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

Just install - then select the images you want and right click - chose the largest of them - RIBNET will cope!!!

Upsidedown on M5

Reported to have been seen upsidedown in a ditch southbound M5 just past past Portishead/Gordano Services junction. Had been towed by an unmarked Range Rover (which was pointing northbound with it's nose in the air & detached from the trailer) also in the ditch. Whoops!

If this is true - its all down to one missing sentance in the operating manual .

'This vessel can be operated at speeds of around 50Knts' - should have 'on water only' at the end.

Hence stunned looking RRover driver saying 'the book said it was good for 50knts ! '

I wonder if anyone checked the weight of his boat & trailer ?

it was being towed by a black Dodge Ram 1500 pick up truck , from a conversation in the pub last night it was being returned to the factory for a couple of issues, so i guess was being towed by a MST employee,

It would be interesting to see how MST designed the drop down screen complete with radar and lights etc.
They must have done the calculations so it was solid and didn't vibrate etc.

I've been wondering about a fixed version so there are short cable runs etc and you don't need an A frame to get in the way when towing / marklaying

Superb Water Machine, just the "Police" patch, kills the sight of the whole set-up.
