Ribcraft wanted, 6-7,50m

Hey Folks,
I‘am writing from Germany and looking for a new rib. I have just sold my Zodiac and would like to buy a rib for going rough seas . I really like Ribcraft, perhaps also Osprey or Ribeye. But I‘am also open for proposals. It should be about 6-7,50m an about 200 Hp. Should be under 2 t weight with trailer included, because of the trailer load of my car.
I feel like there are nearly NO Ribrafts on the german market. Would be great to find one with tax paid within the EU. But I feel like the best chance would be in britain, what makes it really expensive, but let´s see. I would be thankful for any offers. Thanks in advance.
Greets from Germany
Mitch

Thanks for this advice. Then the length from 6.80m is probably out. You have a great boat there, that would have been my thing

Thanks, but with an outboard with 5.000 hrs is like without an outboard. [emoji23]
