Blue moon looks like she is sold. We need to get her to Marblehead for a survey. If all goes well, which I expect, the deal is done.

Love to, but a bit out of my range. Over here there are a few companies who make 25-27 ft diesel powered trawlers that can be had used for under 100k.
That's the plan, er sort of.

Beautiful boat, but I've seen a few in my New England waters, and for some reason the tubes often look pretty sad for their age. Don't get it, it's a high end boat yet the tubes don't last.

If for no other reason than learning about them, or perhaps they have a used boat, it's worth the visit to Marblehead to see the Ribcraft facility. The more you see the easier it is to know what you...

I believe Ribcraft in Mass. offers hypalon numbers and boat names as an option.
I don't know if they make them or send it out to another company.
It's worth a shot anyway. 1.866.742.7872

I check in on a regular basis, 2-3 time a week, although Michele has this crazy idea of trading Blue Moon toward a small trawler in the 25-27 ft range and touring the east coast or the icw.

Glad to see you aboard. I've always thought Wing makes a great set of tubes. Is Wing going to become a bit more active in the consumer rib market, or stay mostly in the commercial market?
