cuddy ribs

[gtflash]

Popped over to cowes at the weekend and there is a very impressive cuddy/cabin rib up the medina anyone know what it is?

I currently own a 6.6m regal cuddy sportsboat. Its a very capable fun and fast boat and being a cuddy means i can take the girlfriend away for a cosy night out every now and then. I would really like a rib for ease of use, sea handling and to eliminate all the damage i get on my boat from other boat owners when moored up. I dont understand why more rib manufacturers dont cater for the cuddy range, its one of the biggest sellers in the sportsboat range so surely they could corner that market aswell as the open boat market.

If someone could superglue some tubes on my boat id be perfectly happy but i dont think they can so can anyone suggest any cuddy type ribs for me so i can cross over to the rib world and keep my girlfriend happy. Sadly i cannot afford a scorpion though!!

Ocean do a very impressive and reasonably priced Cabin Rib that is nicely put together. Other ones I have seen in the area include Protectors, Redbays and Scorpions.

You have a good point about the cuddy, i think itaddsto the versatility of the Rib. Ialso believe that the 'JollySailor' is for sale and that's a rather well proven Cuddy Rib

Yes Jolly Sailor has hardly been used this year, only done about 120 hours which is nothing really.

you can ask Andre about his boats. I believe that you can get the right boat for your money! Check www.parkerribs.com. Good luck!
