Hi am after a rib to use in the sea for fun for my family and maybe also diving, am just starting out so just after something for around £1000-£3000 with a 40+ hp engine, will consider most thing, would also apreciate some advice about ribs, many thanks Richie

A 4m Avon Searider is the way to go. These badboys have are pretty sought after, you'll buy a bit of a shed for £1k, getting much nicer nearer the £3k.

hi ive been looking for a few weeks at them now, and i think a need to pay that little bit more, just to make sure i get something safe for the kids, would a 40 hp be fast enough or would you recommend something bigger? thanks Richie

thanks Richie

Ummm, it's the old dilema. For a genuine 4 seater you're in the 5m+ bracket and your £3k budget then starts to look a bit light.

Yeh I've been looking and the price from a 4m to 5+ is a jump up but I think am going to have to take the leap for a better rib lol, would you say a 40hp would be adequate power? Thanks
