RIB-IT Ribs aluminum hulled ribs

[Mungo]

Just came across what I believe is a fairly new company in the RIB segment. Website is https://ribitboats.com/ Does anyone have experience, thoughts on this company. Hulls are fully welded aluminum with 3mm thickness for the smaller ribs and 4mm thickness on the 420 (which is what I am looking for). Hypalon. Super light. Not sure if that is good or bad. Price is very good. Anyway, I am pretty much a novice here, so appreciate any guidance.

Has no one ever heard of them? Wonder if 4mm enough aluminum?

Highfield use 4mm so the thickness should be ok, don't know anything about the boats though.

I like the look. Need to see some reviews and how they handle after a couple of years.

Pretty soft warranty - see below. Some photo look like highfields, some look like Grands and other are renders.

If it is determined by RIB-IT the buoyancy tube or seams are defective in material or workmanship only (excluding color) during years 2 through 5 of ownership, a boat hull/replacement buoyancy tube will be offered at the following discount from current manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the model:


50% discount in year 2

40% discount in year 3

30% discount in year 4

20% discount in year 5

Thanks for the input. I questioned Rib-It on the warranties. They responded that their insurance would not allow longer warranties.
