We have just sold a very fast big black RIB into Hong Kong!
As time goes by we seem to be getting our RIBs and speed boats further and further around the world.
Next week we are due to ship a very special custom built Black Ballistic RIB to Hong Kong. I think we will probably send it in a 40 ft container with Peters and May or maybe IMS from Southampton UK. I was amazed at just how cheap it is to send a RIB in a container from here to Hongkong… Under £1000.00 . I guess that there are a lot of empty containers going that way around the world due to all of the exports from China.
The boat was a very special custom build that we made as an eye catcher for the RIB show in Cowes, Isle of wight. Not only was it a good looking boat but also a very very fast bit of kit capable of speeds up to 70MPH
The basic specification was as follows:
Not bad for a retail price of £68k !
Ballistic RIB Fitted with Twin Evinrude 200hp ETEC, 70 mph
GPS with chart plotter & Chip, Icom VHF, Depth/Fishfinder,Clarion CD/Stereo, compass and multiple engine instruments.
Seating: Seating consists of 6 single man jockey seats behind the console, 2 man front console bench seat, front sun bed seating and bathing area.
Included Standard Extras: Double A-frame, navigation lights, deck and spot lights and drink holders. Extensive locker space under console, all seating plus ski lockers under sun bed. Comes with console cover and all over cover. Sits on roller trailer.
Non Standard Extras Included Twin 250 litre fuel tank, power assisted hydraulic steering,
If you fancy getting a RIB shipped to you anywhere in the world, Give us a call and maybe we can helpI think that the new owner is planning to moor her along side his Motor yacht ( a De Fever) in the marina. It should be ideal for zooming around HongKong Harbour (If the police don’t stop him!)
He also plans to make high speed boat trips to Macau for the weekend….sounds like fun.
Having spoken to the Chap that is buying this boat, I am not sure that RIBs are very well understood in Hong kong yet. Hopefully when this one gets there, people will start to realise what a practical form of high speed water transport a RIB is and what fun it can be!
