Standard Equipment

Fast and build to last

Traditional RIB’s are mostly made from fiberglass and PVC tubing, which means everything except the tubing is fiberglass including seats and consoles making them extremely heavy. Why is this so important; pre 4 stroke motors was not an issue, with newer EPA regulations, 4 strokes motors weigh in close to twice the weight of traditional 2 stroke, the heavier the boat materials the more HP needed to plane the boat, more HP means a heavier engine and more difficult to plane. Our boats are built to a specific HP to weight ratio and made from ultra lightweight aluminum, shaving 100’s of pounds off the total weight of the boat, allowing for a smaller HP motor without sacrificing speed and torque.

HYPALON and ORCA material. All RIB-IT boats are made from the highest quality materials and built to last. Your Typical RIB is made from PVC which has a life expectancy of 3 years and less if exposed to prolonged UV. Why pay 12-30k for a boat that will need to be re-tubed within 36 months costing anywhere from $3,000-5,000 depending upon the size of the boat. Life expectancy with HYPALON is in the 15 year range if cared for properly as well as greater resale value.

Low Cost shipping

What you won’t hear from other distributors and manufacturers is the cost of shipping until you are at the checkout portion of your order, adding several thousand to the real cost of your boat. Our boats are packaged in an industry standard shipping size which allows RIB-IT to ship your boat at no additional cost using “LTL” with multiple carriers to anywhere in the continental United States. We give our customers several shipping options:

Low cost Shipping: your RIB-IT boat will come 90% assembled, a limited amount of assembly is required which includes, inflating the air chambers, mounting of the motor and attaching the throttle and steering cable. We recommend if you choose this option, the boat be delivered to one of our network affiliates in your area who will perform this task at a minimal cost (delivery locations must have a loading dock or forklift)

Pick up your RIB at our NY or FT Lauderdale warehouse at no additional cost
