Yes, that is Steve (Top Banana)'s old boat. He swapped it for a bigger Ribcraft.

... No ... But I do know the former owner of a 5.8 Vipermax with a 150HP on Sandy Bay .... Sold it a few years ago and apparently it is back on Sandy Bay now. Sadly Ribster Rache is no longer a Ribster and now the owner of a Maxum Motor Cruiser I am based at Trearddur Bay ... Only recently become a Vipermax Owner and Chuffed to bits with it ... Traded a 6.0m 150HP Cobra Nautique in for the Vipermax 7.5m 250HP E-TEC in August and never looked back .... OSPREYS ARE THE FUTURE My comments on price and engine are based on various Ospreys Sold over the last 12 months, what is currently on the market (in the UK ... Belguim Ospreys are ridiculously expensive) and what I paid for mine
