Hello mates, I need your suggestion, really!

Hello everyone, I’m a new comer of RIB world, I want to buy a RIB, but I don’t how to choose one, which parts are important and need to be focused, and how much I will cost about upkeep every year… I’m so happy to find you guys in this forum, you are the number ones. Any help is appreciated.

3 how many do you regularly carry and how old are they,
4would you generally be a fair weather boater or an all weather boater,
5what do you use the boat for diving/fishing/short cruises or long/skiing et

Yes: Olympic flash boat with lights and rockets

Utilitarian or Mediterranean
Orange /black or Blue and white stripe
Jockey or sun loungers
GPS or iPod dock
Nav lights or blue deck lights

Neither are worse, just very different styles which help give advice to an appropriate boat

Gilles , mock ye not !

How on earth do you think our forebears DID manage to navigate ?

A very good clock gave you an idea of local noon , and therefore your longitude . An understanding of Astrology gave you a rough latitude .

( The constellation ,The Great Bear not only indicates North, but also estimates your amount of " Northness " if you know what to look at )

A typical modern book of car maps would be far more accurate than than a 300 year old shipping chart .......

I'm not advocating these techniques today , but your old Corsican chum probably understood navigation better than you ?

Happy New Year.........Bern

As far as I'm aware, hazards to navigation aren't marked on the AA roadmap

Course they don't Nos , but you can have ALL the modern gizmos in the world , and with bad seamanship , there goes another Costa Concordia....

There's an awful lot to be said for a bit of common sense , a knowledge of the tides and a good look out......

Sorry have we derailed this thread ?

Ps I did mean astronomy and not astrology in my last comment

Hello, HUMBER, I'm sorry for replying you so late, I went out to have a party at the
weekends.Well, my budget is about 8000 dollars, and I want to have a new
one since it's my first boat, I think the boat about 3.9-4.2 meters is ok,
I want to use this boat to go fishing, I'm learning how to fish right now,
so my passangers are men about 45years old, huh, there will be 2 or 3
people on the boat at most of time. By the way, an all weather boater will be better and
I'm not Beckham

Thanks advance, looking forward to your suggestion, have a good day.
