Force-4 RIBs?

duke44jb · 24 March 2012, 15:07

I may be in the process of buying a 1999 Force-4. I have tried to research them to no avail. I know they are a company out of New Zealand, other than that, they are a mystery. The owner doesn't know anything about the boat. He says that a friend gave it to him. Can anyone enlighten me as to what they are all about? I know it is an aluminum hull. Other than that, I haven't a clue about it. Thank you in advance.

Yes they were made in NZ in the 90s just down the road from where i live. There are a lot of them still around, used as tenders, mostly about 2.6m long. Some have some kind of clever system to slide the tubes on to the alloy hull, so you can easily take them apart. Can buy good ones here for about $500 USD.
