Introduction
Rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) are very popular amongst families and individuals.
They are versatile and can be used for various leisure activities such as fishing, speed boating, taking day trips or weekends and even wakeboarding or water skiing.
The fun of owning a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is truly fantastic!
I had splendid times with my wife and kids in our family RIB for many years, powered by a Suzuki 140 hp. We took our Labrador along as well. The funny thing is that he wanted to jump overboard every time he saw a buoy, barking and swaying his tail.
Owning a RIB is fun and rewarding because they’re entertaining boats and you have a lot of satisfaction.
These boats are sometimes high-speed and can cope with challenging sea conditions which is why they are often used to rescue people from the water.
Recreational RIBs come in a variety of sizes and are trailerable up to 3.5 tons (in my country, Belgium) or 7,716 lb. Others weigh much more than that, are too wide and thus are no longer trailerable.
If you’re into buying a RIB, I have good news for you: out there is one especially for you. Find it! Pop your questions in our Facebook group. Get some idea of what used RIBs cost in RIBs ONLY Sales.
Let’s look at why owning a RIB is fun for the whole family.
