Would have thought that someone selling boat's that big would at least use a proper email address instead of a Hotmail one

Seem's like a total scam, OR, they advertise cheap and when you call they say that they left a 0 out at the end of the price

I just think they haven't a clue about the internet like so many other boat builders or they are early stage. They are awesome looking boats - saw them advertised a while ago. No transom is great!!!

I would have one at that price - sell the V8 and put in twin diesels - lovely boat!

Not this rib in particular but other ones advertised as R.S.S are pictures of ones off the crompton website. Is this the company which has bought Crompton ribs or are they starting up again under a different name?

RIBase
Crompton was dissolved and the assets sold off individually at auction. It's possible that RRS bought some of the moulds. Madeira ribs in Holland bought some of them too AFAIK.

I do wonder a bit if it's not a scam though-the pic on this one clearly shows surface drives and he's advertising as bravo 3 drives.
£150k seems a bit cheap for a 50' cabin rib with the specs on there too.
