Do like Delta ribs. If it came with a double console it would be hard to beat

Agreed, pull out the rack and put two side by side or a bench, behind skipper. Whoop !

The 5dash5 used to be the wet dream boat divers in the 80s, it was the first mass market "proper" RIB that moved away from the flat, low bow, shallow "V" Searider clones. Still a good looking boat, RIBs haven't moved on much when you think about it.

It may even have been retubed after I saw it as those tubes in the pics look very very good.
Like I say it may not be the same one I saw. It was at my fabricators getting an A Frame made for it a couple of months ago.

Steady on old bean, think about it; if you buy a capable boat of your own.....You'll have to re-write the HP book of excuses.
