Managed out a wee run in my Brigg 2.7 Rib. My older Yamaha 8 2 stroke had a blocked tell tale so quickly got my newer and last of the 2 stroke made 8hp on it instead.
The wee Brigg goes so well. A few speeds over 20 mph recorded GPS. Great fun. Have a look below.
searider, you’ll like this wee thing.

Nice post. love boating on almost anything that floats with an outboard. Is that the water route you have been boating lately ?. How many kilometers, miles could that be. Have never owned a Sib or Rib shorter than a 3.20 one usually powered with a 2 stroke Tohatsu 18 HP motor.

This 340 Rib is a speed machine. is light, floats a lot and jumps on plane too easily with a 18. Just be gentle with the throttle grip or...

That’s a lovely wee thing searider.

yeah that’s Loch Lomond. Just a small part of it that time. Was very choppy.
The loch is 23 miles long and about 5 miles wide at its widest. Lots of islands and beaches to explore. Plenty pubs etc too.
it’s the smallest rib I’ve owned too. The last two were 3m and 3.1m. The 3m had a console, steering and a mariner 10hp with remotes. Great cheap fun.
