I strongly suspect that red bay have managed to make a good looking boat that can manage adverse seas

I have to agree - more RIB manufacturers should do photoshoots located next to a pig - it lends a certain contrasting sleekness and air of grace to the vessel...

You are kidding me right?!
I assume you have never seen a Revenger 715 (cough no vested interest cough).??
Never parked it up on any visitor pontoon without coming back to find a gaggle of admiring seafarers.

Don't think there's such a thing personally, they are all pretty ugly. It's a bit like saying a hot model in a bikini looks better with arm bands and a life ring.
Don't get me wrong I love how useful rhibs are but looking good 
If I had to say what looked practicle then something like this little jet drive ticks a few boxes.

Think that's a photoshoot? Ha. That's everyday life with a cell phone picture. Imagine if we did a photoshoot!

Since 2002 I have had 11 demo ribs . The next one always had to be a better one but my current one a Parker 800 Baltic known as Grey Mist is the best of all. Not only in looks but also performance / sea keeping capabilities.

Err, because I don't work in the boat-building Industry?

yes very much. Got two single seats delivered to Sussex Boat Shop in Littlehampton and they installed the seats moving also the console forward. The fuel tanks are the same twin 220 ltr so I have an excellent range.
Sussex Boat Shop did a very good job and I can highly recommend them for any deck fitting or even boat repair work

I dunno about the best looking rib, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...etc... but at this year's boat show the best finished rib by far was the Cobra. It was astonishingly well done and it sat next to the big grey Redbay and made it look scruffy...

If you ask my twins: they prefer ZODIAC CZ7 with gun machines ... Military style is best for them. They likes ours but missed gun machines and other equipment.
If you look for "best looking" you have plenty big and expensive big yachts tenders. This one is small tender you have many bigger tenders like 10m looks amazing:
In these tenders personal taste of yacht owner is more important that other things (I suppose)
You have Ribeye Prime series, Scorpion RIBs, Technohul RIBs, ReDot awarded Skipper-BSK:
I'm blind for beauty so for me 4 suspension jockey seats, comfortable rear couch, many lockers, fast, good performance in bad Sea but not very big (like 7 or 6.5m) is the "best looking RIB"  for reasonable price which is very different level for many people.
But again - if beauty is most important factor - custom made RIB as yacht tender is probably the best for theirs owners.
