No problem, I accept your apology
For the record I didn't mention wealth in my opening post. You did and I played along.
Oh and I'm 6ft7in and 19 stone, so that must make me hung like a horse

I dunno Mollers, I'm deffo gettin' a whiff of the greeneyed monster here. Mr Magnum is being perfectly reasonable and my "sense-a-nob" sonar didn't even twitch. Are you sure you haven't got your sensitivity gain control cranked up a bit high?

ZODIAC CZ7 would seem to fit the bill - but maybe I'm biased. It's got the range, speed, all weather and two engines
ATB with whatever you buy

Defi not jealous Hard1 . I'm very content with my lot and a little more modest than our friend. Anyway shall we stick to the Rib topic now, I'm sure that Magnums future postings will impress us with his wealth, whoops! I meant knowledge!!

What about the Rupert 32 OB CC With a Twin Mercury Verado 275?
Costs : €139.680,-
They also do custom build. But that part of the site is down.

No he wasn't! (he doesn't own one!)
To be honest - If Magnum is looking at 9m boats, Our boat of just under 8 isn't going to compete when it comes to rough weather anyway purely on size - one of the few occasions it does matter!

Oh how very droll
But a RIB called Rupert? Hmmmm makes me think of that chinless lot up the Thames and the Deauville Rally. Could it be? Surely not.....
Anyway, no thanks, just in case.

OK made some more enquiries.
Pascoe stuff looks nice but hull a bit flatter than others, so am leaving to one side for now.
Cougar R8 looks superb but maybe a touch too small and only 1 engine.
Revenger 29 looks favourite. Just had a long chat with Phil Morris and he has suggested a 29 without stepped hull, with twin o/board well, 80 gallon tank, deluxe console and sports seats at £26770 +VAT with 50mm A-frame at an extra £1281 +VAT. He suggests 2x225HP E-Tecs but says there are lots of other good options.
I plan to visit them next week and have a look, along with anything else suitable. They can offer me a sea trial but only in an inboard.

I can offer you a Parker 900 Baltic with either twin Mercury Verado 250/275 or even with twin diesel Mercruiser 320 with B1 drives, built to your spec.
Unfortunately can't offer you as yet a sea trial cos we have sold the Parker 900 Baltic twin diesel cabin rib but an open twin outboard version is being built for completion early March. You would have to travel to Poland for such trials

Ask why he says the 225 - the 250 is the same weight and size - may as well go the whole hog!!!

I'm guessing, but could the hull be rated to 450hp max? Either that or he'll do a deal on a pair of 225's and make more profit than selling 250's.
