Ribquest 6.8/7.8 owners?

Iron Dials · 02 March 2017, 15:09

Afternoon all.
It's time to buy a new boat...

A couple of Ribquests have appeared on my horizon, as well as a few others.

It's not a brand I am overly familiar with.
Both are very recent boats and I am aware of the company history.

My question is simply, If you own/owned either model what do you think of it?

Comfort, seaworthiness, performance, build quality, etc, etc

Contact Tony T on here as he used to have a Ribquest and liked it

Good way to go

I think they are decent enough Boats...and seem well built.I drove Tony's 6.4 once or twice and it handled pretty well in the Chop.

Yes they are fair ribs and Tony liked his, but then he saw the light and got a RC[emoji56]

If it's a "Dave Rose" built one I'd have no problem in buying it [emoji106] The finishing will be excellent as well as the rigging. Had a run out in a couple of them but never been in any "real" weather in one
