Keep eyes peeled for a nice 11' console rib

cougarcruiser · **Posted:** Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:01 pm

As folks are always cruising craigslist and dealers in the offseason, I have an open request for folks to keep their eyes our for a newer/nicely used/great deal 11' console rib.... Must have hypalon tubes, be in the 11-12' range, and in great condition. I would prefer something already rigged with a 20-40hp.

I am looking, but not seeing much in the northwest.

Thanks!

Although a sweet ride for sure (love the steering wheel cover), I'd like something that's not quite that old. Hoping for 2005+ if possible.

that cheetah print wheel cover would get you to the beach in style.. and who does not want a jet drive RIB.. you would never rack your shin on a prop while its on the platform.

How far are you willing to travel?
There was a nice one for sale at my marina this summer. Last I saw it was in a showroom at one of the local dealers.

I remember seeing one a few weeks ago - but now cannot find it. I'll keep my eyes open.

I would travel or arrange shipping for the right deal and boat. I am open to anything!

Yeah, gonna have to pass on that one. It doesn't quite look up to snuff. I'm not looking for the el cheapo deluxe. I really do want a nice console RIB -- I just don't like the 15-20k pricetag for an 11 foot inflatable. just crazy.

There is a similar maker called bullfrog boats that makes these. Interesting concept, but I want to stay hypalon for this one.

Keep 'em coming. Good rib's are hard to find!

Thought it might at least at least warrant a look...
