Stingher 800 GT

Afternoon,

Does anyone have any first hand experience of these boats? ride quality, build quality, general finish and useability.

Seems to get pretty good reviews from Rib International but would appreciate peoples views, especially if they have used or own one.

Many thanks

They have a great reputation, put together well and excellent ride. Uk dealer located at Southampton Dry Stack always available for tests and help. (Hope I havent insulted Ed at MRL calling him main dealer)

Good boats, a mate of mine has one with a 350 verado. Nice and quick..The only issue i would have is the seating is a bit iffy, loads of room though..

Haven't driven one my self, but they have a great rep. Built by an Italian company with years of experience building RIBs. I personally think they look fantastic. Chubby has experience of them (theres a pic of him driving one with a couple of nice looking girls in bikinis on the sun pad in an advert that appears in RIBint) so hopefully he'll be able to comment.

thanks for the replies so far!

Tony, agree on the seats, they do look like they are missing some side support but will have a look maybe.

do you have any more pictures of your friends one on the water??

cheers

Thanks All,

Have seen the Rib international review but not had chance to view with sound yet! maybe try tonight.

They seem to ride with a high bow which should mean a dry ride (as some people have suggested)
