I think the 80K was actually for 1 verado, 120K for two of them and all the deluxe kit.

Why is everybody bashing this boat??? How much is a Parker or Redbay for a similar spec??

think this puts the price of the cabin rib at LBS into perspective

Who in their right mind who pay £80k for a pseudo rib, when you could have summat like this for £80k.. Or get one of these for £54k, and still have £26k left over for a decent rib..

So I take it we are not bashing this boat just cabin ribs on the whole???

Cabin ribs costing £80k, yes..

[Jimbob]

The redbay is 65K with a proper cabin, e.g when i mean cabin one where the drive can keep dry, not a big console


We would like to have a cabin rib one day, however i think 80k for this is too much when you look at a hardboat and what you get in in. i think there are much better deals from Parker and redbay and others

I the future we would like a cibin rib, i just feel this one is overproced and we dont like it anyway.......however i will be there sat so i will have a proper look

[Rogue Wave]

The Parkeris reasonably priced cabin rib also the Ocean!

The Scorps a lovely bote though

As has already been said, that Redbay comes with a proper cabin, not just a big console that you can sleep in!! If I remember correctly that RIB although second hand has seen very little use and is only 2 or 3 months old. Finally it's a diesel and aren't diesels supposed to be generally more expensive than outboards (ie: engine rigging, etc.)

One thing I would like to see is a Scorp with a proper cabin (ie: roof over your head - I suppose enclosed wheelhouse is probably a better description) They make beautiful boats, I bet it would look stunning. I remember seeing a grey Scorpion before with a roof, but not fully enclosed, kinda like a Protector. Would be nice to see what they'd come up with.

My thibking exactly

I certainly wouldn't be buying that for 80k to 120k

You could get a very nice Botnia Targa for that

No true - but you could get a fairly nice 27 for 80k or a 30 maybe 33 for 120k

Don't forget that the Ribtec and the new shearwater are a cabin RIBs.

The Redbay's and the like are wheelhouse RIBS which are a differrent beast all together.
