Can ChatGPT help with listing up RIBs Smaller Than 4 Meter?

For an article on RIBs smaller than 4 meter worldwide, I thought ChatGPT could be of some assistance. If you’re not familiar with this conversational AI-tool, check out this page.

While the trend in the world of fantastic Rigid Inflatable Boats is leaning towards larger sizes, the “smaller” ones remain necessary, making entry into this world more accessible.

So 4 meter was my parameter number 1.

Will ChatGPT help me to provide a full list of RIBs smaller than 4 meters (great video by the way).

I started with a lot of enthusiasm and ran my query multiple times, adapting it to get the desired result.

I noticed that it was a mix of brands that differed from each other to a lesser extent. So I began to worry about the precision of the ChatGPT neural network even in this stadium.

Only when I pointed out that some information was incorrect did the tool excuse itself and provided more accurate information about RIBs smaller than 4 meter. That was awesome.

So I still had to “correct” the items in the list and added the links myself.

I learned that the formulation of the question must be very clear to get what you want. It’s like working with software developers.

It certainly wasn’t all doom and gloom; I really enjoy(ed) working with ChatGPT, albeit with some nuances in the answers. Privacy, safety, and copyright are certainly things to be aware of!

I really liked being able to have a conversation to delve deeper into the subject matter of RIBs smaller than 4 meter. This concept motivated me to keep going and achieve better results; in contrast to Google, for example.

That said, below is a 10-item list of RIBs smaller than 4 meter of worldwide brands.

About Apex Boats

Honestly I knew them only mostly for small, regular RIBs en tenders. But boy, was I wrong when I came across this video…

Apex Boats has a plant in wonderful* Costa Rica. It’s located in La Guacima.

The area covers 4,000 m2. It features an indoor 2,000 m2 infrastructure with very high ceilings for ventilation.

Take a look inside their shipyard.

The RIB with the red front tubes at 01:03 is quite impressive. The one with the blue top stands out amongst all the smaller ones too.

*This place is recognized by National Geographic, as the second best climate in the world.

The altitude and dry microclimate combination gives us a relatively low humidity), atmospheric pressure compresses the remaining moisture in the soil.

We can work at less than 75% moisture, which is essential for the bonding process.

You may ask yourself: How much does a rigid inflatable boat cost? Well it all depends on what your purpose is.

Introduction

Rigid inflatable boats have become, over the last couple of years, the preferred choice not only for marine professionals but also for those that take boating as a leisure activity. There are a plethora of reasons for this; the boat comes with a myriad of benefits.

For many years now I own a single outboard RIB. As a journalist I sailed many motor boats and RIBs. I aways had the most fun in RIBs. The feeling of “flying” over the waves is really extraordinary! It’s a kick I can’t get enough of.

That being said, one cannot help but inquire why these Rigid Inflatable boats, ostensibly referred to by their abbreviation “RIBs” or “RHIBs”, as expensive. They cost more than the “ordinary” boat, but why exactly is that. The answer to this question can be found in the nuances of the RIBs, from the construction to their operations.
