Dive RIB for Southern California offshore

d1surfdivr · 07 July 2001, 21:26

I'm still searching for the best RIB to dive Southern California Coastal and offshore waters 30 miles out. Any divers with suggestions? I'm interested in the 5-6m professional boats with the widest beam and best performance when powered with the new Yamaha 4 cycle outboards.

Thanks

I would tentatively suggest you consider the Humber 5.8 Dive Pro - very popular amongst divers and delivers all you are looking for.

The 5.8 metre Ribcraft would be a good choice in your size range, and would go well with a Yamaha 100.

Or a Lencraft 5.8 M Ally Cat with a Yamaha 100 hp like our one which can be seen on www.powerboat.org

Best wishes ,

Hi, from the gold coast...North Florida. I run a 5.85 Nautica(Former DEA Boat), have it powered with a 115 Yamaha 4-stroke, 13 1/2 prop, with 19 pitch. 75 gals fuel capacity. The boat rides lke a 40 footer. Check out their site at : www.Nautucaintl.com. The boats are made here in Florida, mine has kevlar/Fiberglass hull with deep "V" and a step.

There's a typo in the link, that's why!

It should be www.nauticaintl.com

Following the link I saw some very very nice boats there. I wish we had the opportunity of use of diesel. Unfortunately only the professional boats are allowed to use diesel in Greece. What's the status quo in UK or USA ?
