Ring Rib vid tripple 250's!!
Has to be said that im not a rib fan - but this is a nice looking Ring rib and seems to handle the chop very well.
Also looks pretty fast!!

Still ugly though, isn't it? I've never seen an attractive RIB. And why are they sooo hideously expensive?? How much???  Behave! Most of the hull is air, for God's sake!

Ribs tend to be ugly since most of them look like tugboats with the upturned bow.
The only ones that look reasonable IMHO are Banana Shark and Revenger. My apologies in advance to any non-tugboat looking rib builders that I may have omitted.

I'd agree with ben. If it was a hardboat it'd probably be really nice.

Yeah i would tend to agree Ben,but i think the Revenger looks better than the Banana shark(sorry Cookie  ) not that im biased in any way of course,nothing to do with Bruce & myself being Revenger dealers in Florida.Hey Ben i should be going to West Virginia in about the second week of July,is that on the way to Virginia ? Just thought i might drop in and let you show me around your new stomping ground.

Not exactly on the way to Virginia as it's well, er, west of us. It's not a million miles away though. We'd be happy to see you.
Where in W.VA are you going?
