RIBS at rest.........
Debate:
I would be interested to know why some ribs sit on their toobs at rest and others dont. My rib sits on its toobs and is very stable. How does your rib sit at rest? What are the pro's and con's?

Rear of the tubes have growth on now due to heavier Yam.
SR4 can wobble when moving side to side due to not having tubes in contact with the water.

Dya reckon sealing it off would keep the toobs clear of the water?

No chance with the Yam on, might have had a chance with the clamshell.

Heavier anchor then, and fix it to the top of the bow toob.

Couple of 5 gallon containers under the tubes would also sort it.

SR4.7 with a sealed hull showing the toobs just out of the water at rest.
Deep vee hull and narrowish beam, so it does rock a little from side to side when you move around the boat, but this is hardly noticeable.
A downside of RIBs with toobs out of the water is they can be more difficult to climb into.

In my opinion one of the big advantages of a RIB is stability at rest - you won't get this if the tubes are out of the water - of course if they are out of the water no growth! If they are too low in the water there will be some extra drag, especially with poorly inflated tubes.
All of our RIBs have tubes in the water at rest - even the race ones!

You wouldn't get too many olives in that barrel.

Slightly off topic....but never seen this before. No tide here, but woun't be nicked very easily ? Think the main reason is that this place is very close to fairway so owner might be afraid of stern wave damages from speeding boats.
