Looking to purchase a RIB
 

Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase a 22' rib or close to that size. A little bigger is fine. If anyone knows of one please send me the info. The RIB can be a few years old with good power. I've search yachtworld, ribs for sale, etc. hoping someone on here knows of one. Something on the east coast,

Call jimmy dyke at airship

air ship are awesome I grew up with Tim jr. in 3ft chop air ships wasted my zodiac 20ft.

if your gonna buy a RIB thats gotta be a top contender right there.

Look int a Caribe I owned a 21 footer that I beat the living Chit out of in the Commercial parasailing business back in the day,
I Have a good friend that I used to sail his 53 foot ketch for years that purchased a 20foot Novurania for about twice the price as the Caribe . Yea it was fancy but it didn't hold up any better than the Caribe at half the price. Also they wiil retube an older model of theirs for a very very reasonable price which makes it like new.

Why the need for a inflatable? If you don't need it as a tender it is a high maintenance boat to own if you don't specifically need it.

defender marine in conn they have a good selection

I like Air Ship I have and also like SACS Marine. I run my about 300 hours per year.

Protectors are bad rides. I don't know of any specifically but would give you a # to a friend who deals them in mass if you'd like.

C.l. Boston has a few nice ones 20'+ from $13g to $78g
Good luck. They are fun boats.

Steve Curtis's 10 Meter Cougar is one of the best riding/handling boats I've driven. great boat.

Ok great, I'll look into these options.
Thanks, Chris

+1!

I think TNT in Miami is selling them now.

Miklos is right - try to find a SACS ribbie... his Ghost is sweet.

check out this one in S. Florida (not mine) - especially interesting since it has diesel power... http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/boa/4694115340.html

please post pics of what you've decided on.

This particular model might have an open cockpit version so you can seat a few people.
