Fast and build to last

Traditional RIB’s are mostly made from fiberglass and PVC tubing, which means everything except the tubing is fiberglass including seats and consoles making them extremely heavy. Why is this so important; pre 4 stroke motors was not an issue, with newer EPA regulations, 4 strokes motors weigh in close to twice the weight of traditional 2 stroke, the heavier the boat materials the more HP needed to plane the boat, more HP means a heavier engine and more difficult to plane. Our boats are built to a specific HP to weight ratio and made from ultra lightweight aluminum, shaving 100’s of pounds off the total weight of the boat, allowing for a smaller HP motor without sacrificing speed and torque.

HYPALON and ORCA material. All RIB-IT boats are made from the highest quality materials and built to last. Your Typical RIB is made from PVC which has a life expectancy of 3 years and less if exposed to prolonged UV. Why pay 12–30k for a boat that will need to be re-tubed within 36 months costing anywhere from $3,000–5,000 depending upon the size of the boat. Life expectancy with HYPALON is in the 15 year range if cared for properly as well as greater resale value.
