First step towards "super hero" status
I got me cape and mask, all I need is a rib to become a superhero!
So here it is under construction.
Anyone know where to get a deal on a drysuit, balaclava and a thermos flask!

Thought it would make it easier to ratchet strap all the essential rib-ing equipment to the deck!!
Or possibly because like a lot of ribs this is a "cut down" sportsboat, and we need something to support the flange whilst glassing it to the topsides.
It's the hull of one of our 24' sportsboats, which actually measures 24'10"

Interesting to see a deck with port holes in it .
Is that to watch the fish go by as ribs are alot slower than your normal sportboat

They're not portholes you fool, they're stairwells down to the basement.

That's a big vertical to the flange, TD. Are the tubes ever going to touch the water?

That fella, Fuller, is going to be jealous when you've finished this.

It's not really that much, a bad camera angle maybe!!! Mind you, it's a prototype, so maybe we can bolt extra motors on until it floats at the correct height.
That Fuller bloke has got his name down for a demo.

We had considered laminating several packets of "Rizlas" and building a Falcon type boat, but the guide dog didn't turn up for work that day!!
We thought we would move into the rib market and relieve a few chumps of their money!
Oh allright then JF, it's not really for me, one of my chimps has decided that he'd like to build a rhib, (notice the correct spelling) and as the material costs are about 7 quid, I couldn't see a problem. Saves me giving him a payrise!
He plans to use it as a tender to get to his hard (real) boat, which is obviously the correct use for a blow up boat!

Charming, but I'm glad to see your feeling a lot better, for a moment I thought we were going to have the first Boatmad funeral!
