Ouch!!!

Spotted a 5 metre fibreglass RIB in a carpark in town yesterday.

It was split all the way along the port side. from the bow to stern just below where the rubber tyre attaches to the sides. The self draining eck was visible through the gap.

It was fitted with racks up top with surf boards tied on and a jet ski inside so would expect they've been up Gnaraloo way surfing when something has gone bust.

Sorry no pics
