Arimar 590 rib for family, good or bad idea

[bhoy]

Hello, I am looking at buying a Arimar 590 rib 2010 with 2011 Marnier 125HP 2 stroke engine as per the pics.
Plan to use with family in the open sea, albeit close to the coast for skiing, day trips, etc.
kids between 5 and 9 and looking on feedback on this being a good or bad purchase, especially:
- the seating area at the front. Is it too high? especially for kids.
- Is the hull deep enough for sea boating.
- Any insight into the quality of these.
- does the rear bench seat effect the balance
Many thanks for your help.

Hi bhoy

Looking at this RIB I would consider this a calm weather boat.

It has seating all around with stereo speakers and the seats can also be used as a sunlounge. Looking at the seating there is nothing to hang on too.

A RIB has straps to hang on too when sitting on the tubes but not much good with those seats which I don't consider were original manufacture.

So going for a cruise in a lake, a river or a canal with the family lounging on the seats with drinks and snacks.

And of course kids should be supervised.

That's my take.
