I don't know enough about hull designs to answer this question myself

what hard boat hull would convert into a rib say seven metres long. one would want performance and stabilty if possible defaulting towards stability
 
Scorpio Sorcerer, but they do already make ribs based on their hardboat hulls.
 
The phantom evo is a rib innit, ya nob! there is no such thing a s a phantom evo hardboat.

Got to agree with Jon here excellent RIB in the 7-8m type and we run run with a Merc 200 black max on..... you can guess the rest

Just part of my learning process really, I am beginning to get an overall idea of what hull designs actually do and was wondering what views this August forum held.

Don't worry I am not about to start to start splaShing
 
Personally, I think the mistake people make is by not having the tubes touch the water at rest, I have no idea if people design them with the tubes seveal inches out of the water or it's a cockup, but to me it defeats part of the object of putting tubes on a boat in the first place! I believe most if not all hulls could be turned into RIBs, and if it's already a good hard boat hull, it will carry it's qualities over into a tubed version, so in my very humble opinion it is hull shapes on all boats regardless of whether or not they are tubed that matters.

what size hull length was the scorpio jon?
 
They did all sorts, I think the current rib is based on a 21, although they have the moulds now for the 30' cruiser, and I understand there talk of a rib derivitive.
