Well, it's different! new Diesel (Merc 1.7) powered toy for sale. Great pose value with low running costs... would be storming with a honkin' great V8 petrol instead. but hey, this is what it is!

...although if you want a different motor I'm sure we could get you one built..

Has intergrated drinks holders for passengers, wired for sound system and some other "boaty" bits too.....
Demo available in Pwllheli.

£23,750.00 seems quite a good price, but how much "without" the Landrover tow vehicle????

Gav · 23-08-2004, 10:00 PM

Are these still built in Hartlebury? Only about 2 miles from me, dont hear much about them these days.........

Yup, they make RIB hulls... in fact, mine's being tubed up as we speak.... and they are alive and kicking again.

I must add, in completely un-biased way you understand, that the quality of the work they turn out is second to none that I have come across in my limited (but growing!) experience.

Gav · 24-08-2004, 09:36 PM

i used to work there many moons ago when pip owned it, used to fit out the sigmas and the like.........
the rib's are built for Revenger are they not?

Captain Chaos · 24-08-2004, 11:28 PM

they most certainly are

glen76 · 25-08-2004, 04:02 PM

what do you mean theyre built for revenger???

Captain Chaos · 25-08-2004, 04:15 PM

they are contracted to build the hulls for revenger....which i believe revenger then finish/ rig themselves.

Revengers used to be done @ trio mouldings but i think shakespeare offered better terms

Louise · 25-08-2004, 04:27 PM

Excuse my ignorance but does that mean that the Revenger hull has changed? Or did Revenger supply the moulds to both companies? Or something else? Ta.

Captain Chaos · 25-08-2004, 04:54 PM

Not sure...........I was lead to believe that there is only 1 set of moulds that have changed hands

Louise · 25-08-2004, 05:05 PM

Thanks, Cap'n Birdseye.

Captain Chaos · 25-08-2004, 05:48 PM

BTW,

trying to vere back on subject. One of the local dealers round my way had one of those spaceships with a 4.3L innit.

I saw them out on a trial with a punter on a fairly nice but choppy day.....it did travel along nice & smoooovly!! and its finnish was quality, so if its your thing styling wise....i spose they get a CC one gold star.........

oh, and it ate my spray like a cheap whore as i mashed passed it!

I usually have to pay extra for that privilage!

glen76 · 27-08-2004, 08:25 PM

the old 650 was supposed to be good in the green stuff and a heavy layup apparently contributed to ride and quality
