Used Inflatable Rib
Seaworthy Inflatables? RIB's? Brands? Sizes? Advice??
I'm am looking for an entry-level seaworthy inflatable that can either be towed by a 4 cylinder car or stowed away. I'm looking for something rock-solid that I can use inland around Southern California to cruise around on and use as a dive boat to get into coves.
What would be some good choices? Size? Engine? Are there any that are good enough to make the trek over to Catalina Island for the day? I've known people to take Jetskis over there.. What about an inflatable or RIB on a decent day??
Also.. What would I expect to pick one up for used in good condition?
having lived aboard in the Caribbean 30 odd years and at one point having sold inflatable boats.
a RIB. don't fool with floorboards unless stowage space is an essential. A RIB is 456,789% more seaworthy than a removable floor design.
10-14 foot, 15 to 25 hp will do.....I have a 10'2" AVON with a15 Yamaha 2 stroke and it planes with 2, carries 4 and dive gear in close quarters, and I'd take it on 5 mile or so inter island calmish water runs with no second thoughts....and of course proper safety gear, flares, VHF, water etc etc......
boat and engine is about 300 pounds so it would tow easilly.
If I were buying new today:
AVON, Achillies, AB, Carib in that order; maybe but probably not Zodiac..Nautica makes a very nice boat but very pricey.
Hypalon fabric. Never PVC especialy around rocks and divers!
