Excellent, good to see you got the boat, looks great

Looks like Gary has sorted you out after all!

.........and RSJ's to hold the transom in place. Nice and easy to get props for also.

nugent · 08 September 2005, 17:42

only rated @200hp on transom
power to weight the 175hp makes more sense,

only obtained bare boat and secondhand trailer but its a start.........
i have been told where to get seats and stainless fittings from there there awaiting payment,,,,,,,,as made for this boat any roads they will be grate full to recieve any cash they can.......namely mine........

nugent · 08 September 2005, 17:46

thinking about it?
long shaft, xl long or short shaft.. best do some home work after the weekend before i make any commitments.

pity i cant make southampton boat show,,, but ive got more chance of platting piss, than making it

ribraff · 08 September 2005, 17:52

I would'nt trust that trailer once you've rigged the boat it's ropey as hell, Gary's had that for years and it's done some mileage!

stan_deezy · 08 September 2005, 17:54

That is a beautiful looking Rib Nugent and I'm really pleased that you managed to get her. I was reading the unfolding drama yesterday and hoping things would turn out okay for you.

Now, if you'd be interested in swapping for a Flatacraft 4 I might just be able to see my way to clear to doing a deal............

Glad to see you got your boat, and hope you get it sorted ASAP.
Nick that Opti is a left handed one, so it goes the wrong way! Will only work as a twin setup, hence the price and why he's being trying to sell it for a while.

It can still be used as a single, although getting hold of the prop will be difficult! But it is a good price!

You are correct actually, it is possible with a prop change. I got in a bit of a muddle! Heres the original thread I posted when I first spotted it:

Looks a beauty.

Be nice to see her when she's finished.

How long d'ya reckon before you can get her in the water?

Er... 175 opti's are very rare in the UK. When i was buying i wanted a 175 but they were loads more money for not quite so much more power, i think Barrus keep stock of 150's where as 175's are special order. Remember, the 150 is still a 2.5li v6, it's just detuned / ECU mapping difference to the 175.

I know where there is a 150 less than a yr old going cheap, still on a boat but he's upgrading to a 200.

I can also get you a good price on a 150 or 175 but (although it seams a shame) i suspect common sense (prehaps £2k saving) might make you choose a 150. Let me know.

*edit* oh, luvley boat BTW!
