Looks a really good boat in the ad. Fairweather Marine and Solent RIBs are one and the same.
175hp will be plenty.

No experience of silent ribs but I have a stealing suspicion they were based off of a Steve baker phantom hull.

Narrow hulls are much better at slicing through the waves rather than a big beamy barge

Is there a build year where they sorted out the deck issues or is it one of their unique features you’ve got to be careful of ?
