Buying F-rib 360

Folding Ribs or F-Ribs are a great way of obtaining a hard hull boat but having the flexibility of a sib.
F-Ribs have the 3 or 4 section articulating hinge joint that allow the boat to fold up for ease of storage & transportation. A great idea opening up a whole new world of opportunity.

Yes, for sure guys!! I'm looking forward to receive my boat soon and do some photos and videos!
I have to buy some stuff before, like the hauling wheels. I'm uncertain between the F-Rib original one and these wheels from beachmaster (Steve Bruce told me that for the sand are very good! Unfortunatly they sell them from new zeland, so it will be very expensive!

Hi Manfre, welcome to the forum, where about's in Italy will you be boating? I've just come back from northern Italy, Lake Garda and Lake Maggiori look like fantastic places to launch a boat, so much so that we're thinking of taking the R-rib with us next time we're over that way. Do you know what licences etc are needed?
