There is a bit on here about Chinese Ribs in general,not,most of it very positive.
I would advise caution
Certainly a better idea to stick with the tried and tested Brands I would say....even if you're boating is in the Med

Is it a cross between a delta and redbay?
Maybe two boats welded together makes better value than just one

Delta Bay RIB boat. The company that builds them is Foshan Delta Bay Yachts Co., Ltd. / Seayachts Marine Limited. They are a large contract manufacturer for companies like 3D Tender and larger Inmar RIBs.

I wanted a Patrol 550 from 3D Tender, but there wasn't distribution in the USA, so I reached out directly to the contract manufacturer that makes them for 3D Tender, Delta Bay. The process was easy, and I was able to select and customize the RIB to my specifications. I even had them use 866 Carbon Orca, which is generally only found on very expensive RIBs.

There were no surprises; I had the boat in the water seven days after receiving it, and I didn’t need to tweak anything. In fact, they did all the rigging there, including adding the Garmin, the Suzuki SMG4 Gauge, rod holders, etc.

I have heard horror stories about purchasing a RIB in China; however, I wasn’t worried because dealing with a large contract manufacturer that has significant OEM clients gave me some comfort. I don’t know how to upload photos on the forum; if I ever learn how, I’ll upload some pictures.
