F-Rib Modifications and Accessories
Hi Everyone!
Here in NYC braving the brutal winter. I got a 360 a few weeks back for Christmas and have yet to actually put the thing in the water! Spring can’t get here fast enough.
In the meantime, I’ve been looking for cool things to do to the boat in anticipation for boating season.
Have any of you made any cool mods you’d like to share? How did you do it / where did you get it from? As for me, I’ll be mostly using my boat for fishing and getting away from all the people here in city. I plan on installing rod holders at some point. Maybe a Bimini top too.

Re: F-Rib Modifications and Accessories
Hello Sols,
aboard
I have the Frib 375, I’ve made my own bow box & canopy/spray cover, added rod holders and some keel guard to protect the hull.
I believe the newer model fribs come with keelguard fitted as standard.
You’ll hopefully get a few more ideas from the guys with other boats too.
Whilst you’re awaiting more replies - it would be great if you could do a little “hello “ in the introduce yourself section so the rest of the forum members get to welcome you.
Enjoy the forum

Re: F-Rib Modifications and Accessories
Hi Sois
I am new also out of Detroit Michigan with a F-rib 375 and Mercury 20hp outboard. My first recommendation would be to get a good electric air pump with a liefield adapter. This makes inflation quick and painless. Ther are some great comments in this forum you can link to for this. On my F-375 I have added a F-rib bow cover and an aftermarket Bimini top.I will send pictures shortly.
