Prosport ribs

[simmons0]

Cmon Charles speak up. We wana know what your planning.

[Jono Garton]

Just found out today, jasons mould goes up to 10m !!!!!

Now should i upgrade to 10m from 9m ???????

[Graham H]

Go on be a devil

[Ian]

Yeah why not. Then buy an articulated trailer and a third Suzi 250 4 stroke, fit 34 single jockeys and a helipad!
What the hell do you want a 10m for? You cant park/moor it in Pwllheli.

[simmons0]

No, dont you dare, that'll delay my rib even more....

[Jono Garton]

Hull is only rated to 600hp so can't have 3 x 250's so it would have to be 3 x 200's.

[Ian]

And Suzuki would be so sad about that..........not.
Why not buy a 10m AND a 9m to go with the 6.5m and 5.4m and jet ski, then you wont have to make a choice

Wouldn't that mean you would be 3 times more likely to have an engine failure?

[Ian]

So simmons0 has joined the club, ordering a 6m.
Jason, how many is that on order now from RIBnet folk?
dangers, any news yet, have you had a sea trial?

[simmons0]

I think JK should start charging him for all this free advertising.

PS. Prosports are great

or Jason puts in a take over bid to the share holders. JK becomes a millionaire and the members do very nicely too!

No sea trial yet. I spoke to Jason recently, he said that they were finishing an 8.5 with an evinrude. They have had problems with the evinrude, which has delayed getting it in the water. Jason's plan is to get it in the water this week and whip over to Jersey on a sea trial and take me for a spin. When that happens I shall report back to all interested via this forum.

Have you actually trialed the 6 mtr that your now getting.

Paul

[simmons0]

nope

[The Jackeens]

Congrats on your new Toy

Whwn is delivery scheduled for and are you going to drive it back across???

I must admit I've been keeping an eye on the prosports 6mtr as our next possible purchase.

Seen a 6.5 in southampton a week or 2 ago and it seemed very flat in the bow area. But looked the dogs B....ixs

Ian and Janho are certainly looking forward to getting theres mind you they're easily pleased for ecky thumpers chaps.

Look forward to seeing yours in the flesh and once again congrats.

I'm jealous

True thers not much rise in the bow but they ride with the bow quite high in the water, unlike a vailiant which rides almost flat and repeatedly stuffs in following seas.

The hull is very deep 23.5 degrees.
Usually Jason will drive the boat back from Geurnsey to Plymouth because the guys he buys his trailers from are based in devon.
Im going to flay out 3 days before and do all the sea trails with Jason to get a feel for the boat. When hes finished ill drive it back to Portsmouth where my wife will be waiting with a trailer.(I hope)

Usually Jason would find a way of travelling from Plymouth to southampton airport so he says he will come wiht us back to Portsmouth if we want. I quite liek that because if things go wrong on the first big outing then he will be there.

[The Jackeens]

From memory I'm sure his site says its a medium V on the 6 series and not deep which is on the seven series.

Are you local to the solent - Wayhay another protential solent ribber.
