6 - 7m RIB

anicdu · 13 March 2005, 18:07

Hi,
I live in Norway and I am looking for a 6-7m RIB. I've been looking at the Voyager 645 and the 6.4/6.8 by Tornado.
Any other suggestions?

Hi anicdu!

I´ve been looking for a new RIB in about 1 year now. I´ve been testing a lot. My absolute favourite brand is Osprey. Why don´t you go for an Osprey Viper or Viper Max. I know there is a few for sale in Sweden.

Best Regards

Staffan

Thanks, I've just been looking at them. They look excellent! But do you have you tested any others?

although its a biritish based brand, have you looked at the humbers? very good boats, and good value!!! have a look at the ocean pros!

Yes, they are really nice!

I´ve have tested a few in different sizes.

For example:
Osprey
RIB Unlimited
Rupert
Parker/C-RIB
Prestige
Scorpion

Send me an e-mail and I can teel you more in Swedish. I think we will understand each other better then....

Has anyone tested any of the mentioned tornados or a solent?
Anything between 6-7m is of interest....

In that case, strike Scorpion from your list as 7.5m is the starting size.

Any preference - Petrol - diesel cos if diesel then my Parker 630 is still available - see Ribs for Sale

It is worth looking at a www.gaelforceventures.com for a seaworthy well found vessel.

I think OB petrol would be the right option me...
However, I have kind of narrowed it down to a tornado or osprey seaharrier. Any last objections/suggestions?
