Looking for my first RIB :-)

Hi everyone , ive just joined this forum and as the title states I am looking for my first pwc, I am looking for one between 4 and 5.5 m and I will be using it in the Irish sea around Angelsey north Wales just for leisure ie, a little fishing , days out ect ect with the missus and 6 year old son + friends with their jet skis and ribs .
I am hoping to get as much advice as possible from the experts on here, any help and nods in the right direction would be very much appreciated , cheers [emoji3]

Welcome!

You will certainly find some info using them search facility on types of ribs to look out for.

If you know a budget then we can probably point you towards something to suit your needs?

have you seen anything that you like the look of yet?

my immediate thought would be an sr4 or sr5.4 if you want something to go when it is a little rough.

cheers

The chaps on here pointed me away from the rib I was considering, to my new SR4 and I haven't looked back. Its fantastic.

Easier to tow than my trailer, easy to launch solo, and bags of fun.
