You'll fly in the F-Rib with a 15 hp on, and it'll plane a treat at low speeds with or without the fins on.
Those launch wheels also fit the F-Rib btw

Re: 330 vs 360
You can certainly take the fins off as these boats come up on the plane very quickly.
The seat bags are good but not sure as to have waterproof they are as I have only got them a little wet but no water got in.
The launch wheels you have will work fine but as the transom has a lip, you may need to pack the wheel base plate in order to allow the wheels to lock in the upright position. If you can afford them, I would buy a set of 'Beach Master' launch wheels from New Zealand. They are superb but at a price of around £200 shipped, they are not the cheapest however they are the best in my opinion, only wish I had bought them.........maybe some time in the future.
Hope that helps

Re: 330 vs 360
Well I paid for it, so hopefully I'll own a brand new unused F-Rib real soon 
I'm sure I'll ask about modding soon and hopefully share some ideas.
Those wheels on my Sib will fit an F-Rib, but the bearings are rubbish. All rusted up so I am hoping the ones coming with the F-Rib are better.
As for the bags. At the moment I take a rucksack, these bags should make it so I don't need to take one on there again saving space :-)

Agreed it's indeed a lot of money BUT worth every penny IMO
Love my 360 to bits and it does everything I want of it, family cruises, fishing, toys and hooning around
Very stable afloat and underfoot, easy to set-up/pack away, handles really well, gets on the plane with very little effort and goes like stink if you want it to
Let the personalisation and mods begin
Enjoy
Paul
