New kids on the block

Post by Paul » 05 Jul 2016, 19:29

Always great to see Steve at F-Rib HQ and hear about his future plans, ongoing boat shows (worldwide), dealership launches (worldwide), new products and new accessories 8-)
Almost available immediately is a boat cover for your F-Rib and there's some other accessories to follow soon so keep an eye out on here and the F-Rib website.
Another addition are some solid hulls which customers have been enquiring about so Steve's shipped a couple over to fit out and test.
Here's a sneaky video I took of them, the first one is a 4.2m and the second is a 3.75m
They had just arrived and are in the process of being fitted out but it'll give you an idea ;-)
Once fitted out I'll be joining Steve during sea trials :drive :star

Well the point of the F-Rib is it folds. Otherwise it's just another small Rib....

It's just a name on a trial product. Take note, the Smaller rib has a WB on it...
I'm sure they'll be labelled correctly as and when they go on the market.

Andy
Steve is just expanding his market due to demand.
The folding rib is selling very well due to it's versatility to the likes of us sibbers however his largest original market as SBS to yacht/hard boats as a tender stowed in lockers has extended to the 'super' yacht/hard boat owner, loving the quality of the product are wanting something bigger so he's answering their requests.
I just thought the members on here with hard boats, smaller/medium sized ribs would be interested in the product being 'a new kid on the block' and some members on here are thinking of Highfields/SR4's etc :|
