Hi Steve, The boat is fine after buying a new water pump and other bits and pieces, cost £560 quid to sort it, but after buying a boat we all alter them to suit our own liking. Bet your dad likes it better with the trim tabs fitted, i've seen a few boats with them fitted, but not a Reiver, pleased you've got it sorted i was disappointed that you did'nt seem pleased with the boat the last time you were in touch, i do miss the speed but me and the wife spend more time just sitting on the boat drinking tea than actually out fishing, so the cabin gets used quite a bit. I've been out fishing twice in the last 2 weeks and never had a bite so hope you're doing better Steve...
