RIBs for Sale - A Buyers Guide
How should you compare RIBs for sale? Set a realistic whole-package budget, including the engine, controls, electronics, trailer, delivery, commissioning and insurance. Shortlist boats by intended use, passenger and payload needs, operating area, hull length, tube material and storage. When buying used, verify ownership and service records and arrange a careful inspection and sea trial.
