Chinook ribs-whaddya know?

[Nos4r2]

I've noticed a lot of Chinook ribs for sale. What are they like?

Sort of pointy at the front and surrounded by a big squashy tube....

They were built in Cheshire from the year dot until about 93-94 when they were bought out by Delta. They moved into ribs from building inflatables, many which have lasted over 20 years.

The Sea Fury range from about 92 were excellent sea boats and came in a range of sizes up to about 7m many with inboard petrols which were more economical than outboards at the time (and a bit more reliable) However the range came too late (against stiff competition) to save the company. There were some smaller chinooks, which were very competent for diving, but worth checking to see if they are medium or deep v depending on your needs. They were all hand built and lasted well even when abused by divers.
