1997 Ribtec 5856m

Here we have a great sea-going RIB. The Ribtec 585's are well know for having a great, strong hull and this boat benefits from two huge upgrades - new Hypalon tubes in 2015 and a new engine in 2018! The engine still has low hours - currently showing 87.4 adn it has had a service each year (2020,2021 and 2022) in line with the warranty guidelines. Remainder of the warranty should therefore still apply which is believed to have been 6 years from the date of purchase. This engine has just had a service (May 2022) so the RIB is ready to use!

The RIB is sitting on a nice trailer which has had its breaks removed which suited the current owner and their usage, so we are selling this as a launch trailer but it can be reinstated for road use - please ask us for more information.

Engine service (May 2022)
