I have a couple of hundred hours on an XS600 and it was an absolutely brilliant little RIB. Outstanding in all conditions.

I was so impressed with it I currently use an XS850 commercially!

Nothing we'd have added I don't think. Ours came as a turn-key fully commercially coded boat so we had put a lot of planning into what we wanted. A few examples of what it came with; LED nav lights,...

Love them. Used a 6m XS with a 150 to commercially line fish for bass, and it did hundreds of hours in very tough conditions and never missed a beat. Took a pounding, lived on a deep water mooring,...

Spent some time on a local Cheetah which is used mainly for trips for a charity. Nice boat to helm and a comfortable ride in sloppy seas. Only heard good things about the company itself.

Looking forward to seeing the next instalment! I made a promise to myself not to moan about the cold next time I'm out after seeing that.

I must admit, when I happened to hear a local RIB go past with twin G2 200's on the back, the noise they make was certainly alluring. The chap swears by the performance of them as well, seems to find...

Yes I figure that there'll be no scrimping if I really want to push her along. I saw a commerical 8.4 out a while ago with twin 300 Verados on her and I must admit, my knees went a little weak ;) I...

That's very interesting Xk59D, I can certainly see why they didn't get your business! I don't imagine there's too many punters who'd be keen to be given these type of strictures when they're on the...

Narrowing engine selection for new 8m plus RIB

Afternoon all.

It's that perennial decision- what engine setup do I go for? I'm looking at picking up a larger RIB- currently using a 6 metre XS in conjunction with a 150 Honda. I've been very...
