My rib is bigger than yours...

For the person who really does need to win that argument how about this. Wonder if it would fit on the Folly pontoon...

I posted a link to their website a long time ago - nice to see them in the flesh.

What I like about them is that they are still a proper RIB - awesome!!!

I liked the way it dwarfed the 60' rib next to it...
In the flesh the cross section of the tubes is simply huge.

Will be on ebay soon for £2500, but the seller will be out of country on business and you have to pay a shipping company that he's left it with, who once they have your money will laugh and call you a t!t

At least you'll be safe in the knowledge that while the owner has the bigger RIB, You're the one who has been boating and becoming infintley more experienced while they have been slaving away in order to afford the cost and maintenance of it ! think this just about answers the question - how big does a RIB get before it becomes just a vehicle for showing off wealth ? !!!
