x2.....

Clives Wellcraft really was impressive, hard to believe it's a 30 yr old boat, looks like it came out of the factory a couple of weeks ago.

The build and finish of the P1ss boat is also pretty impressive, but it's even uglier in the flesh than the photo's portray, the camera obviously does lie.

Talk at the show was 68mph, and interestingly it had the same bow tank pickup as a Fountain, perhaps they're the guilty party???

I got 66 mph out of it on Friday - It's made in the Fountain factory. It flies over steep wakes quite well, the photos and report will be in next months Sportsboat magazine

My sentiments exactly -hopefully that will be what happens next year - with a free show on the mainland, who is going to pay to enter a show on the IOW ? Not economic sense at this time.
Come on Ribex - talk to CSL publishing & make a joint show. you know it makes sense !
