“We will be displaying our market-leading range of ultimate four stroke outboards, that are packed full of innovation and technology, which we’re hoping will continue to be a real hit with show visitors (stand F10). We are proud to be working with our partner boat builders, Ribcraft and Rigiflex again, to offer RYA-specified safety boat packages too” he concluded.
