Fantasy Thread: What is your dream rib?

Congratulations - you have just won the euromillions!

What new RIB do you go out and buy? How do you spec it and why?

Custom built aluminium hulled Ribcraft 4.8 with built in lifting points, double jockey console.
To act as tender to my 57’ Nordhavn that I would have just ordered.

Nardhavn's are sexy AF! Possibly only beat by Cantiere Delle Marche but I am not sure their smallest boat can be owner-operated, and I don't want staff on my 5 year ROW trip!

Ribcraft 5.85m with side by side jockey configuration, suspension seats of course, A-frame, Tohatsu engine with custom matched paint, Raymarine electronics and lifting eyes. Better make it navy hypalon fabric impression (matt-finish) to match the mother-ship.

Now I know it's not for sale but I'll make the owner an offer he can't refuse.

Interesting Ponder and a bit of fun ...but 3m to 30! ...when it all boils down It's the Location/Circumstances you're USING it in that counts....and Company of course!

When it's right sometimes and everything aligns .....For me it couldn't get ANY better regardless!

We live on the P415 and play with the rib, so I would just lift and shift the whole lot to Barbados....Simples..
