Help Identifying RIB (Ribtec?)

Good evening all

I have just purchased the RIB in the photos, it was advertised as a 2010 Ribtec 5.5m, but there is no maker plate on the transom.

Having been searching I cannot see a similar looking RIB to identify the model or the builder.

Any thoughts? Happy with the boat and set up, so no issues there, but just to know what it is would be helpful, especially for insurance etc...

Thanks Ian

I have some more history, and it would appear to be a Ribtec 535, the boat was called Tim, which we believe to be after Tim Wilkes who I have been told the boat was built for.

It was originally yellow from what I have found out, with new tubes and inbuilt tank being added.
