If you haven't seen Apetor's (now sadly dead) youtube channel - he owned a 17 laterally which was why I ended up researching and buying the 16 from Caley. The 16 I've got was the demo model that James used in a previous video. These boats are incredibly durable. Fantastic deck space compared to RHIB I previously owned. Many positives but if you want a frank criticism the hull design does mean it slams at speed in choppy water compared to a deep V hull. Having said that I have not had a shot at the 17 (yet) and it looks a bit more like it'll cut through the water. James - give me a shout when this one is ready for selling !!!
Hello Ali, Thank you for your comments, I had not come across Apetor's channel before- he seemed like an interesting chap! This vessel is now on the market for selling so feel free to give us a shout or pop in next time you are through in Inverness. Kind regards, James
LOW LIGHT, BOAT COLOR DOES NOT HELP, CAMERA SHOULD BE HIGHER TO SHOW THE INNER BOAT. APART FROM THOSE, NICE BOAT SEEMS DURABLE AND HOPE THAT IS CAPABLE TO TRAVEL IN HIGH WAVES,👍👍👍

Thank you for your comments, do you have a Pioner?
@@caley-marina nope. just a Zodiac tender to my boat.
you need to improve your camera work, more panning work and show us what your talking and looking at.
Many thanks for the feedback Jim- do you like this model?
bad review.....i want to see the boat not you
Thank you again for the detailed feedback Jim- where in the world are you based?
