Help identifying ribtec model please

Hello everyone I am trying to identify the model of this rib by using the transom number, my friend has asked me to get him some quotes for a retube and this is the only picture he's sent me and now he's gone abroad!!!

Many thanks in advance

The serial number is - 96259
And it's rated to - 120hp

I'm trying to remember how we used to stamp them plats up, I think that it's a 6.25 m and it's a 1999
Kieron at ribshop will probably have a better clue

my 1995 585 has a rating of 120hp, my guess is that's a 1996 585.

yep did do, hence my guess that hull 96259 is hull no.259 of 1996.

I think these plates were before your time Biff and they did not identify the model. A photo of the boat would be more useful.

I never knew there was a Ribtec between the 535 and the 655.

The 585 with a Honda 90 was the fastest selling Rubtec at one point in time. It's all we were fitting out.

Thank you for your replies, the boat currently has 50hp 4 stroke on it. Was used for training youngsters I believe but owner is looking to upgrade the engine now and have tubs repaired.

Thanks.
