I forgot to mention, the 700 also has the option of a 2 berth cuddy cabin. & all internal cockpit is Gelcoat finished & anti-slip surface.

Because thats what people have been doing for many years hence there isnt really anything new in the sportboat/pleasure boat market which IMHO is why the Rib market is doing well.
I have been popping into Gavs on a regular basis and I can really see the effort that goes into building a plug! Its a massive undertaking and must be very stressful. Now I have seen for myself what it takes to make boat plug I firmly believe that all splashers should be strung up by their bollocks!

Every single time I have popped round to Gav's to see him working on the boat, he has given me directions to a pub, where he is drinking, so I dont see much work going on. In fact I have never seen him working on the boat....

The screen is a moulding from the 600xs, purely used as a basis to work from. The end screen will look a lot different!

Its part of the build up of the moulded screen, there will be a section in the middle of the screen that will be wider with anti-slip moulded into it to act as a step. Also the centre cosole will have a couple of steps in also, there will also be a foothold in the screen itself making access to the bow very easy and safer.

i havent seen the stingray 23, is it a UK built boat?

We have plans to do a sterndrive version later in the year, but at the moment only an O/B version is available, initial calculations of speed are 65mph with a standard 200HP O/B, this may change a little upon testing as its very difficult to work out how much of a difference the Hull notch will make...
