Money no object RIB? ...
Just out of interest to see what the best RIBs are in peoples opinions - what would be your spec for a 'money no object' RIB????
Think i'd buy a Goldfish with a 600hp V10 petrol - that'd do around 80Knots 
and a few bits off the extras list... Teak decks, cockpit/deck lights, raymarine C-120 12inch plotter, Shore power, fresh water kit, fridge and ice maker, electric anchor winch etc etc - all-in would probably weigh in at about £115k

Got to be one of these for me with the biggest engines they can fit.
WHY? Because it has an aluminium hull - no transom - jet drive and I will be able to go flat out in 16" of water and not have to worry - a big advantage in the Burry Estuary. Oh and I would have a removable cabin pod for longer trips with a bog and a bed!!!
It's an Ocean Dynamics by the way.

Just realised we are all missing the point - if it's fun you are after it's got to be a ZapCat - and a Ultima Can Am AND a Ducatti - all for the same money!!!

Saw a humongous offshore cabin RIB-monster in Plymouth once. Looked like a Halmatic or other Vosper product...Nelson? Privatised/personalised version.
It was for sale  but at a big price 
Apart from a steel-hulled icebreaker that we saw being refurbed once, that's the one
