Hi,
I have just bought the worlds tattiest RIB.:D
It needs painting as the fabric is showing through on some areas. It doesn't have to look perfect as I am only using it for fishing. Has anyone got any suggestions on what is the correct type of paint and where I could get it (cheapest possible solution prefered).
Also I have a 75hp mariner would this engine be big enough to try it out (its approximately 21ft). It looks huge compared to my 5m chinook and we might struggle to launch it at our regular spot so I don't want to buy an engine until I know we can manage it.
I will sort my camera out and post a pic so you can all have a good laugh at me.
Cheers
Pete

I'll sort the camera out and put some pictures up as I can't find a plate.
I would think it was stolen but you wouldn't steal one in this condition.
