US Customs RIB
Spotted on the Potamac River, on my holiday to Washington DC last month. Anyone care to guess as to make? (Also a good excuse to see if I can upload pictures!)

Upon closer inspection, I do believe the bow is slightly squared off, and I remember some time back in an article in RI about a pretty awesome yellow RIB made for the US Navy called a 'Nautica' .
So that's my guess - Nautica Ribs

Now that you have shares in RI, no doubt the marketing will be stepped up.........
