A total BEAST at my local boat club
This RIB has been in our local boat club for a few years, thought i'd share with you. I had the pleasure of piloting her a few times, very smooth boat. Max speed about 28knts. Powered by ~ 250HP I think

It came from an oil rig, buyer totally overhauled the engine and electronics. A bit of polish and she'd be looking well again. Sorry for crap pics, taken with phone.

Looks like it could deal with most stuff in Galway Bay?

I'd say she could handle anything off the Irish or UK coast!
