I think it's the extra 30% cost they command that put folks off ...... but they cost that for good reason when you read the specs
Highfield Ribs, any feedback?

Re: Highfield Ribs, any feedback?
Sorry old thread, but I use a 6.5m Highfield with a 150hp Outboard, aluminium hull, will do in excess of 40knts on slight seas on the Solent 4 up. Outstanding Boat but they are expensive and can be a bit juicy on fuel. But in the rough I give up long before I’ve ever reached anything near the limits of the Boat.

Oooh! Nice, Nice, Nice, Nice!
Whack up some pics in our new ‘small ribs’ section.
In my book, anything under 7m/200hp can be classed as a small rib. Ho! fookin ho!
