The above ones look garbage imo with the exception of the bottom picky.

The top one is rank rotten, looks like 4 seats on a surf board.

Probably time for a pic of the Philippe Starck RIB - reminds me of, I dunno, a wee man in a canoe?

is it "new kid in the block" ???

I have found it on the RIBCRAFT webpage. Technical data looks correct but description is for different boat. Anyone knows anything about these series ?? 600S, XXXS ?

Ribcraft 600S - Ribcraft RIBS , Rigid Inflatable Boats - Yeovil, Somerset, UK

Technical data for 650S looks invalid also (tha same like for 600S).
And weight is very low - not sure if it is hull only weight or another erro

They made those about 10 years ago. I nearly bought one but owner wouldn't let me hear engine running.

For sure looks good and for sure a very good sea keeping rib .

What I do not like is the lifeline attachments on the top of the tubes and the loose lines which for sure flap up and down at speed

Thanks. Yes I agree those lifelines are not my fav either. I prefer the option that guys also have with the taught lines.

That Baltic Cruiser of yours is a great looking boat.

The Parker Baltic Cruiser a 10 mtr Cabin rib. To see this one you would have to go to Monaco

Is there another better looking cabin rib with equal or better performances?

A win for me as the plug was built to suit missus willk and I personally although I had mine shortened in the sides a touch to maintain easy access to the water. I haven't had a chance to drive A-D yet but I live in hope (that's a hint Tom). She seems to have the poke of The Beast and the creature comfort of the willkcraft, so I suspect she'll be legend over a snotty day at sea. No meaningful idea of what she would cost (but lots). Couple of pics of the console in build:
What’s up front in console?. Is it a tube top hike to the front deck for mooring

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - nothing to do with me though.
