How do i know what rib i have?

Phill27 · 17 January 2006, 17:51

Hi guys back again thanks for all your help with regards outboard service..... Now just one quick thing, i have a 6.3m rib with ocean written on the tubes, It seems to be a fairly deep boat and looks to be solid. Does anyone know who would have made this boat? we think it dates back to early 90's. Any help would be much apreciated.

Regards

Could be a Humber Ocean Pro or an Ocean RIB. Humber certainly make a 6.3mtr. Does it have a yellow H on the rear tube section? A picture would do it.

but I reckon it's an Ocean made by Windsor marine in sunny Poorchester. Made quite well from what I have seen of em

They are on the interweb

That's the ocean that was on ebay a few weeks back....

Phill27 · 17 January 2006, 20:26

Yep that was the one!!! Had it bought over from the isle of man and done a bit of hagling on it!!! Got a reasonable price in the end!!!

200 efi on a 6.3 woo hoo

Phill27 · 17 January 2006, 20:27

is that good or bad???

it depends on whether or not you wear a tooupe (wig not a tent)

only 27 so lucky and still have my own head of hair!!! However owning pubs tends to make you loose it rapidly!!!

That looks a good boat to me. I like the layout of the seats and the console is sweet. Also the Hull looks very good for a sea. You couldn't post a picture of the lower Arse end. Ocean's used to be very round but they modifies the stern a while ago

Hope these give you an idea!!!!

I can't see a thing My mum was obviously right!

Phill27 · 17 January 2006, 20:50

lets try that again!!!!

that'ss be fine it's not an older model also I wouldn't run an aux on that bracket whilst at sea on main engine. Carry it in the boat and strap it on if you need to

Phill27 · 17 January 2006, 21:00

Was goin to strap it up at the bow!! Tons of room inside it..... Hull has a fair few scratches and a few chips+old gelcoat repairs so having a look at the hull being refurbed at the mo, just need to find somewhere to do it!!! Havnt run her up yet properly as getting trailer serviced and need to get engine checked over and serviced just incase!!!
