Avon Or Ribeye

[GSW]

Hi guys looking for a new rib my last rib was a zodiac yachtline 600 with a 150hp that i had in malta. Nice loking boat but very poor in the rough stuff so looking for a change set my heart on i think because i change my mind every day a avon 560 or a ribeye 500 but which one ????????????? this boat is for the uk so guys which one is the best

Is there a reason why you've narrowed it down to these two RIBs? Plenty more choice out there in that size/price range.

The Avon without a doubt but plenty of others to choose from.

Had a good look around like the layout of both boats as it for a family seating suits and gone for ribeye for the deap hull but open to sugestions

i've heard the the ribeye is pretty bad in the rough stuff, plus they don't use hypalon tubes

Wrong on both counts I'm afraid, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good yarn!

LOL

Sadly I've not got the time to dedicate to a good old bitch fight today I'm afraid chaps but if GSW has any questions about the Ribeye 500 I'd be pleased to answer them (and qualified to answer them too, given that I own one! ).

i did my PB2 in a Ribeye about 5 or 5.5m. On the 2nd day we went out in a force 6 and it was great fun - waves were about 8' or so and I was very impressed with the way it handled. We got VERY wet but it was great fun. Boat had an 80hp yam 4 stroke on it. the instructor has had the boat for about 4 or 5 years and no problems. Landings off the waves were quite hard though.
