XS 760 Feedback - v’s Ribcraft

Hi guys.

As a die hard ribcraft fan & long-standing/current Ribcraft 585 owner, please could I trouble you for feedback, experience etc with big XS ribs, specifically the 760 paired with a Suzuki 250?

If anyone has or currently owned an XS760, I’d appreciate your thoughts, good & bad!

Thanks in advance

Tom

I did most of my PB training in an XS 700 with Suzuki 175. Was an absolutely fantastic boat and probably one of the nicest RIBs I've had the pleasure of driving. Our workboat is a Ribcraft 6.8 and I'd have the XS over it any day of the week. What do you want to know?

I can’t comment on a Ribcraft, but I’ve had my XS700 for a few months now and it is a fantastic sea going rib. Really reassuring handling and a layout that works well for uk waters and a mix of uses. Also worth mentioning that the hull and tubes are 15 years old and have been used commercially with plenty of hours on them, it’s a truly solid boat built to last.
