I looked at that boat back end of last year, very nice but for me was put off by the potential fuel bills as currently run a diesel inboard. Was impressed overall with the refit on this Ribtec my only other slight reservation was driving position, great while sat down but if standing(which I tend to do a lot of the time) couldn't comfortably reach wheel whilst braced against back of seat! Loved the rear deck very superyacht tender like.

Very nice, I still love my 9m Ribtec after something like 8 years of ownership now, and find it a superb seagoing hull. I hope you get to enjoy her once she arrives!

Thanks we are really looking forward to it. Have had twin big blocks, Twin V6's and single V8s before so there wont be any fuel usage surprises. Its a fairly recent motor and much more efficient than all the carbed ones we have had. Ideally it would have had a Yanmar diesel, but very happy with the boat as is.
