I have an opportunity to purchase a Nautica International Rib 13, but I can't seem to find any information about it.

Model : RIB 13
The HIN is BTJ58441A889

Any information you can provide would sure be appreciated.

Thanks

That HIN suggests it's a 1989??

Do you know what type of tube materail?

I believe they were hypalon, but do a search on here, there's loads of results for Nautica

I hope you mistyped the HIN which should start with PTJ which is the MIC (Mfg Id Code) for Nautica International which is listed by the Coast Guard as inactive. Plenty of bankruptcy info online too. MIC Database Detail Search Results
I actually have been trying to track down the son of the owner (deceased) and see if he knows anything about plans.
HOWEVER - as long as the rib doesn't have a HIN starting with BTJ then I'm sure it's Nautica. It should be Hypalon and should be a very good little boat.

I looked at the HIN again and it does begin with PTJ. Thanks for the information.
