The majority of Ballistic Ribs were built in South Africa and imported into the UK. Many of the smaller boats like the 5 - 5.5 meters were manufactured with PVC tubes, the larger 6.5 - 7.8m boats from Hypalon.
We are retubing a lot of Ballistic Ribs now they are reaching the age where the tubes are starring to fail. We see the start of the aging process of the Ballistics with failing baffles followed by seams.
Here is a Ballistic 785 that came in with failing baffles, we replaced the tubes in a similar style but with a modern twist using Arctic grey Orca Hypalon with grey tear drop rub strake and military grey fabric impression wear patches.
A stealth looking Ballistic Rib re-tube going out the door this week. Finished in Black Hypalon with black fittings and Anthracite fabric impression wear patches.
