Today we had a new visitor in for some custom stainless work. This is their flagship Inflatable RIB…the STRONG 680. We custom fabricated a full T-Top and Aft Arch tower out of 316L Stainless Steel to a mirror polish.
Inflatable RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) boats offer several benefits that make them a popular choice for various marine activities:
- Lightweight: Their inflatable siding and laminate hull construction make RIBs much lighter than traditional boats, enhancing fuel efficiency and increasing carrying capacity1.
- Stability: The combination of a hard-hull and inflatable-collar provides superior stability, making RIBs virtually unsinkable and safe to operate at high speeds1.
- Maneuverability: The hard v-hull allows RIBs to track well and handle a variety of water conditions, from calm lakes to rough seas1.
- Power and Speed: Despite their lightweight design, RIBs are powerful and fast, capable of quick acceleration and agile handling1.
- Fuel Efficiency: The efficient hull shape contributes to lower fuel consumption, making them more economical to operate1.
- Versatility: RIBs are used in all types of water and for a wide range of purposes, from military operations to recreational boating1.
- Durability: With proper care, RIBs are exceptionally durable and can withstand various environmental conditions2.
- Comfort: They are designed to be comfortable, often featuring amenities like shade canopies and cushioned seating2.
- Variety: There are many different styles and sizes of RIBs available, catering to different needs and preferences3.
