Since I sold my last RIB in 1985 I thought it was about time I started looking for another. During the process of searching I came across this valuable resource so thought I should join you lot here. I've already learned much in what to avoid and what not, so thanks for that all. Not actually got a RIB yet, other than the rescue boat at work. Hoping to have something before December when my son gets back from uni though.

You should have seen the one I had before the 4m Searider. It was a 13ft rigid hulled Dunlop C Craft, I believe a factory prototype that never came to fruition. No wonder, it was the wettest boat I've ever been in Thing had a 28HP short shaft Johnson on the back that was so old it had mixture screws you adjusted 'on the fly'
