Can anyone identify this RIB

Hi Folks,

Can anyone identify the model of this RIB or shed any light on it? Tall order I know. Anything at all would be appreciated.

Cheers

With that raised bow and specific shaped A frame I reckon it's a Humber between 5 and 7.5M, not sure of year.

Hmm - I’d say not but may be wrong. The hull on a destroyer is smooth, no chines. The Ocean Pro has a different profile completely. Looks more like an old osprey? A frames are normally more angled in too.

I looked at it & thought Humber too. Dunno why, it just looks "Humberish"

Thanks lads,

I was swaying towards to an early humber destroyer by the profile of it myself but not 100% sure.

Thanks for your input.

looks to be an early Zodiac, hurricane with custom gelcoat

I think you could be onto something there, do you have a year in mind?

Destroyer has a single chine

I see it now mate, I think like Capt A said it's looking like a zodiac Hurricane the more I research it, now to try and establish a year or most importantly where a second HIN may be placed on her. it goes to show the credit of this forum with providing information it's a brilliant site.

Cheers
