Has anyone tried the cheaper 350 kg Indespension trailer designed for jet skis, with their F-RIB?

350kg..
Isn't that the tiny extreme trailer ?

I think the micro swing that I have is the smallest Indespension do, but I could be wrong :LMT

Ahhh, I see it..
Item 322433786573

Clearance stock ,
£535.50
+ £100 delivery
No spare wheel / carrier

I'm not sure if or how the FRIB would sit on there, the bunks are very low and not adjustable.

Yes that was my concern.

Paying £800 is out of my reach really, and used micros are like hens teeth, so just looking at options.

Having the hard hull, the rollers would be much more advantageous over the bunks in my opinion. Although the FRIB a has a fairly shallow "V" I think it would still be a struggle seating it on that.

I have a contact at Indespension, I may be able to help a little..
What's your budget ?

Yes I can see what you mean about the rollers Martin.

I was hoping to find a used one for no more than £500 really.

One thing to add on this topic. I had wondered about a cover for the F-RIB 360.
Just to let you know I ordered the Ducks Back cover for inflatables up to 3.8m. It's fits the F-RIB 360 perfectly and looks like good quality (£52) with nice elastic and compression straps sewn in etc.. Only came today so cant comment on longevity.Note it was the inflatable version NOT the RIB version which allows extra space for steering console and jockey seats etc.

It may also fit the 375 Martin but not sure.

Thought I'd post this info in case it helps anyone.

Thanks.

Product description on the invoice:

ducks back Inflatable Boat (dinghy) Cover
Inflatable Cover Size: Up to 3.8 m (12'5")
