Cabin Ribs

A lot has been said about cabin ribs so here are a few photos taken this week at the Oslo Boat Show. This is the Parker Baltic Cruiser which is branded for the Norwegian market as Commuter 10 RIB. This cabin rib is a result of the joint cooperation between Askeladden Boats of Norway and Parker Ribs. The complete rib was built in our factory.
Available with twin outboards or twin diesel stern drive

You've just changed the RIB at the top of my list for a Lottery win
Very nice indeed

What's she powered by?

I always find cabin RIBs to be a bitter sweet experience, they rarely look like proper boats. But this is stunning!

A very nice boat.

Wow, and there was me wondering which inboards she had.

I'll let you know tomorrow evening if I've had any luck.

I hope so ( or another one like it ). Any ball park costs yet Andre ?

I'd expect it to give the similar cabin ribs a good run for less money...........(redbay, protector etc)

That does look pretty sweet

I believe Parker will now fit any power plant of your choice, not just Mercury. I think I would go for 300 Varados over 300 Suzis simply because I prefer the noise the Varado makes

Truely stunning boat Andre, I was a little sceptical about the combination when you described on the phone, but good god has it worked well. Congratulations to you and the team.

Just when you think you've got the best, the next best thing comes out .....

Very smart Andre! Is this model going to be your new demo RIB? Would be nice to see her in the Solent.

I thought this boat seemed familiar, it featured on a thread from the YBW forum and if the prices quoted on there are anything to go by it's going to take a rather large lottery win to afford it. It looks ideal for the Scottish weather where you can get 40 different types of rain all in the same day.

Here is a link to the thread:

http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread...light=commuter

It looks fantastic Andre, I hope it's a great success for you.

Yes that is the very first craft a twin diesel stern drive, originally it was only going to be twin stern drive but now we have the twin outboard option as well

The Parker Arrow will be upgraded so the interior walls will be moulded just like on the Parker Baltic Cruiser
The Parker Arrow twin diesel stern drive was going to be my choice for the next demo rib but will now wait for the upgrade as moulds have to be made etc. Not so sure when this will happen.
