Hi Blackstorm Welcome to this the best forum on the net.

I have been here for just a short while and found everybody very friendly and helpful.

The advise i have received from the forum has been fantastic.
I don't think there would be any question that could not be answered by the members.

Looking to buy a rib or parts for a rib ?? Again this is the site.
Welcome.

Welcome

Good luck with looking for a new RIB, I'm sure you've still got hours and hours of threads you want to trawl through.

You'll find plenty of good advise on here.

Welcome, hope you gain useful info from on here, all are friendly, if sometimes a little antagonistic, i'll name no names, you will see them on a variety of threads, their intentions are generally in jest

P.S. don't mention anything negative about a certain type of thick tape and ribs that start with Sea and end in rider. Half the forum will pounce on you.

Have fun! Keep us posted on the rib you buy.

My vote is Humber, maybe a destroyer of that size (cue everyone else's opinion)

RIBase
Welcome and
As the others have said there is plenty of good advice on here from 'grumpy' old men to the not so grumpy. Me well there is alot of good ribs your spoiled for choice depends what you want to do and where you want to do it!! All I can say is that I do most of all my ribbing on the west of scotland and I cannot praise my Ribcraft 585 high enough but I know it is not the only one. Best carry on and do what the 'Big' man says ask some general questions and see what comes back.
What ever you choose I wish you well and many happy days on the water.

J
