New owner of an Otech 7 Meter in Atlanta, Georgia USA

[JoeDrifter]

Hello Group,

I recently purchased a 2006 Otech with only 51 hours on the Steyr 236 turbo diesel. Not sure who made the tubes but they have completely fallen apart. It doesn't appear that any of the guled areas were sanded on this material. Maybe they were not supposed to be I have no idea. But either way I will need tubes soon. Suggestions for tube companies would be great.

Welcome to the board

Quite the find for such a low hour boat.

Wing Inflatable in Arcata CA would be worth contacting for a price. They make a lot of the government tubes, and use a different yet very tough material. Luxury RIBs in FL is another one, and I am sure there are other tube makers around. Easiest if they already have a pattern.

If the condition of the tubing material is in good shape, you could take them apart and reglue them. A 5 gallon bucket of Stabond 2 part glue runs around $800.
