Review By Phil Roberts
Having had quite a number of inflatable boats plus a rib over a forty year period and with age not being on my side, I needed a boat that I could handle on and off the water on my own for fishing trips so I bought a couple of air floor SIBs. Now on paper, these boats would be perfect for me, easy get ready procedure and compact for the car boot.
Well not quite, the floor has to be exactly to pressure or performance is greatly affected along with a wet ride at times to say nothing of being a bit of a handful for me to handle into the car……………enter the F-Rib.
I saw an article regarding these craft which seemed to offer me everything I wanted in an inflatable boat. Very quick to get ready, lighter than my SIB, fit into the car perfectly, a true rigid floor and a small footprint in the garage. Needless to say a 330 was bought and along with it came a whole new experience for me. The 330 is just the right size for both family use and for my fishing.
I have to say performance on the water is superb with the 15hp outboard strapped to the transom, the boat is on the plane effortlessly and extremely quickly. The GRP hull locks up tight so you would never know that it is in 3 sections, in fact you have to look very closely to even see the joins between the sections. The hull shape produces a good turning circle with no slide unlike my SIBs producing a very predictable ride. I also use a 2.5hp outboard for some of my fishing and whilst I have never checked the speed, it potters along much faster than an air floor boat due to the efficiency of the hull.
Off the water, the F-Rib is easy to handle and with the 15hp fitted along with launch wheels, I have just over 4.5kgs nose weight so walking the boat to the water is very easy which this aging old geezer is rather pleased about.
I am very happy with the F-Rib 330 and doubt very much that I will be looking to change boats again after all it answers all my needs.
Happy Fribbing !!

I bought this same rib from Phil Roberts and I am absolutely delighted with it. The folk at F-Rib could not have been more helpful with them giving up their time to help me with set up. I had a problem with my Parsun 15 two stroke with water coming over the transom which was solved by putting an inch high piece of wood on top of the transom. The boat now jumps up onto the plane with no spray coming into the boat. As Phil says the boat is easy for one person to handle and is so much better than an inflatable both in performance and getting onto the water. Thanks again.
