Rib-Shop experiences

[adams1x]

Hi, I have recently bought a 2 year old Ribeye Playtime 600, On buying the boat the tubes were very faded and had not been looked after or even covered up so I needed to bring these back and turn the boat into what I would be happy to call my boat.

I know there is lots of talk on here about best things to clean boats with but I decided to take the plunge and get someone else to do it....

I contacted Rib Shop on the Hamble and Kieron could not have been more helpful and we booked the rib in, I knew it would look better but was not prepared for what I saw when I picked it up, It looked new! I am really not joking, for £175, the hull had been power washed, the decks steam cleaned and the tubes brough back to new using Rib Revive and then a 3m Vinyl Protectant used. The boat is now officially my pride and joy and I cannot recommend them enough, they also serviced my Yamaha F115 which is running perfectly.

I dont work there, have no affiliantion with the Shop but wanted to share my experience, it is rare to find people nowadays that genuinly take a pride in their work and that is what I found.

Website address is www.rib-shop.co.uk and Tel: 01489 556800

I saw your RIB being worked on earlier this week, very smart! The Guys and Girl are A1 and I wished that all businesses where this friendly.

So Rib Shop gets the thumbs up from here too

Thanks for the feedback. Good feedback is as valuable as bad feedback.

Plus it might be just the ticket I'm after!!

Good to here my rib is there having some rub strake and handles fitted. looking forward to seeing it look like a rib and not an innertube.

I have found them both very helpful so far

The stuff they sell for cleaning toobs is bloody magic, though due to my location I had to provide the elbow grease myself

Took my RIB there for an engine service and had some difficulty even before I got out of my road with the brakes binding on. Managed to reverse and get them free and drove over to RIb-Shop, about 20 miles. Asked them to have a look at the triailer as well as the engine service.
When I went back the following week, Kieron was very polite as he told me that had I gone much further a wheel would most likely have fallen off the trailer.
He had a box of brown s--t that used to be my brake shoes and wheel bearings.
The service was exceptional, especially given the lack of notice, and I thought the price reasonable as well. They get my vote.

Good to hear that. I bought the rib cleaning kit from them but havn't applied the elbow grease yet. Hopfully i'll be finished before going out on Sunday
