Ribeye A600 refit
Posted on 29th Mar 2023
We were approached by our client to restore his 15 year old Ribeye A600. We worked closely with them to come up with options and colour scheme to make his aging Ribeye look like new. The tired PVC tubes were replaced with Black fabric impression Hypalon tubes with black EPDM fittings and custom cut logos. New deck lights, switch panels, and Fusion sound system was installed and a Flexiteek synthetic teak deck supplied and installed. New upholstery was fitted with the addition of gas struts on the rear bench seat. The consoles, GRP and stainless were polished, hull antifouled, and engine serviced. The boat was handed over ready for launch for the 2023 boating season.

RIBCRAFT OVERHAUL
A recent overhaul of the tubes on a Ribcraft 7.5m. We replaced the rubbingstrake, fairlead, handles, lifeline patches, lifelines, logos and fitted new wear patches. An overhaul is a great alternative to a re-tube when the tubes still have plenty of life in them, but need a cosmetic lift.
