Osprey identification

[DJS]

Is there an easy way (without taking every single measurement) to identify/differentiate between the viper and vipermax, I am looking at one at the moment and the guy says he hasn’t a clue which model it is and there are no identification plates on the hull.

Guidance welcomed on this!

Vipers tubes sit on the water at rest!

So do Vipermax toobs (5.8 & 6.2 anyway)



...and 6.5s with heavy DF Soozooks

Yep, but only just touching.

Is that the one for sale in Donegal? I'd guess it's a Viper...early style single dive console.

Thanks for the comments and no its not the Donegal model with the unique spelling

I have now discovered it is a viper! From what I have read here and on the Osprey owners site they are decent boats with good sea keeping- any contrary views??

My first foray into Ribs was a Viper 5.25

Great boat !
