As it has only done 9 hours , did the sale fall through or is bear frightened of the water ?

But £87,500 is alot of dosh for a rib , even one of this size and spec !

He could allways put his name on the side and double the price .

As for the boat its a cracker , very safe for a day out with the family or a day trip to france and back -from Edinburgh !

I wonder if I could hide it behind my canoe and she'd never notice

Just noticed it's in the same colours as the rest of his Gerber range

Well i'm of out to buy some lottery tickets , you never know .

It would do the length of loch lomond in about 5 minutes , the down side it would cost £100 in fuel. but made up in grin factor .

Ok , after shewie pointed out that bear had a book out about the north west passage in a rib , the boat that i mentioned was for sale was going to be the the one for the expedition until they realised that i couldn't carry enough fuel between stops (1200miles) .
So they had to build a bigger rib with greater capacity .

Here is a bit more about the trip .
