First RIB experience

[sk8rpj]

Channel Watch took me out for a ride on their Ribcraft Mitigator this morning, and WOW. I am completely sold on a RIB. When you open the throttle it puts you back in the seat. It was a really calm day so it was a smooth ride. There was a little bump part of the time, so we were able to get a little air. The ride was incredibly dry.

Ha Ha,

Hooked well and truly I would say.

Thing is you don't need a big RIB to have fun. Small RIBs with a decent engine on the back are good too. And its probably where a RIB excels compared to many (Read ANY) other types of boats

Now see what you guys have done with all your talk about RIBs. There goes all his savings. I also invited him back on a rougher day to really experience the difference on a RIB.

I always thought size mattered but I did tell him in this case smaller would do just fine.

You know what they say. You can't take it with you.

And you've only got one life so you might as well live it

Good for you - RIBs are pretty average on a nice day - it takes some waves to bring them to life!!!
