Any SIB/RIB owners around East Coast Lowcountry?

Hey Y'all! I've been living on Hilton Head SC for about 8 years now and after learning to surf and paddleboard and enjoying that thoroughly I have recently found myself craving more speed and range in my aquatic adventurers!

If anyone in the area is willing to chat with a new boater about local SIB/RIB boating please announce yourself here! Looking forward to becoming part of the Lowcountry boating community

Cheers!

Zodiac's US headquarters 40 miles north of Hilton Head in Summerville, SC. Should be lots of Low Country SIB/RIB knowledge about.

What!? no way - I wonder if they do sales nearby so I don't have to have it shipped in. I am surprised when I use their dealer locator there is only one dealer close enough be be worth the drive. (I am looking at the Z Cadet alu RIB 360)

There are supposedly two dealers in Charleston, also one in Savannah, though the only one I've had any contact with is AirSea Safety in Charleston. Very knowledgeable on service issues.

Good to know but the price is way higher than what I have seen online. I think I am going to have to go with Inflatable boat specialists online - even with shipping the same boat on their site is $500+ less than the Charleston dealer and while it's not that far it would still take an entire day to head up to coast. I will just have to inspect the boat and outboard for a good while before accepting the delivery
