Interested in repairing RIB's, need used glue, paint, inflatables

Hello,

I'm new to repairing older RIB's. For example, I have a 1994 Mostro Alliance 10' RIB. I could repair/patch it up and paint it, but would prefer to completely replace the inflatable part. The fiberglass hull and transom are in perfect shape. First, how could I go about getting just the inflatable portion(new or good cond) to then re-fit onto the boat? The company is now out of business. Any tips? Also, I would be interested in buying any remaining hypalon paint(Tuff coat, etc.), and glue, patches, from someone that didn't use a full gallon etc. All of those things are so expensive new. I figure that I could save some $$ and take it off someone's hands that didn't use all of their paint, glue. Many thanks for any tips.

Rib

Well there are some aftermarket tube manufacturers in a Florida who can build new tubes for you. However on a 10' open rib it may not be cost effective to do so. One place you can check with would be inflatablemarlinservices. They do have a website with all contact info.

Good luck
