What does the single skin bit mean? Is it lighter than a normal f-rib of that length?

Hi Chris.
The standard FRIB 375 has a flat floor (2nd skin) inside with an anti slip finish.
I wanted some depth in mine as a safety factor for the nipper, and also storage.
The F-Rib275, F-Rib330 & F-Rib360 all have the stepped floor (single skin)

iirc the F-Rib375 comes in at 62kg
Mine weighs in at 55kg.

Lighter, deeper internally and an AWSOME colour :mrgreen: :drive

Here's the discussion / review of the FRIB 375 vs FRIB 360

I would have liked to get the 375 single skin, but those few extra kilos would have broken this camels back, so after a lot of thinking, it had to be the 360 for me. But nobody told me I could have had a choice of colours. :thud

Tbh, there isn't a choice of colour as a general thing.
Mine was a special order at my request. Well worth the wait and extra cost :D
Hopefully in time it'll help promote the forum.

:party Looking forward to reading your experiences with that Martin, they look the dogs bits and a great addition to your impressive new frib. Looked at them myself a while back but ended up selling the boat. :shame

Top Tip: From what I remember you need a spotlessly clean bottom before applying :lol: :rofl
