Can't really tell from piccies which one has the deeper V, both look pretty similar. What is apparent though, the F-rib has hard chines, while the Kairos hull has none. With similar V's the F- rib should have significantly more bite in the turns.
What sort of price is the Kairos anyway?

IMHO, buy from a dealer who will honor/honour the warranty. I've seen a little of the Egyptian boat building "industry" and I'd sooner put to sea in a cattle trough...

It's the best Lon you can get. Lon comes in several grades, Superlon, Megalon & Hyperlon.

You guys in the US really should get in touch with Steve Bruce to see what could be done about some boats over there. Perhaps if a few of you really want to buy Fribs, maybe a combined carriage cost could be done to make it a little cheaper, I don't know but it is worth a look.

Personally for me, its not the cost. Its more of let me touch it and see the concept live before i spend three thousand dollars. Having Bruce around you is a real treat. Ask Bruce if he plans on making an trips across the pond any time soon
