It is fifty-fifty, the hull is steel, the superstructure is made of aluminum.

really good looking one, long on the market . any idea why ? good galley old style engines ok volvos which are not that sought after......but layout etc is nice, maybe too much wood outside but this old style frp boats are really heavy built. if in europe i would have a look, but whith these engines its impossible to import to eu now.

Thus the name of the boat

That’s funny @Mac2 , I didn’t even notice that.
Weird how the shipyard said they sandblasted and painted her, yet the photo clearly shows horrible corrosion on that overhang. I hate when brokers only make half an effort to post current information.

Possibly TMD 120s of some variety...

Thanks! Did the broker send to you? I see they're still not in the listing... I wonder why...
Still kind of hard to tell much from them, other than the general disconnect between the attention clearly paid to the living spaces versus the engine room. Which is of course not a great sign.

I've noticed RIBs (rigid inflatables) don't seem very popular in Australia or at least with the fishing community. They are very popular in Europe especially around the Mediterranean coast even with anglers.
What is the reason for the seemingly unpopularity of rib boats. Heat expanding tubes,durability of tubes, ride, cost, hooks/gaffs? I had one for a very long time and never once put a hole in it with a hook, gaff or knife.
Thanks guys, I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Just speculating. My main dinghy, a Stabicraft, and my main anchor, Sarca Excel, is made in Australia and New Zealand. There is a lot of thought into making these items bulletproof. Something that is filled with air is not bulletproof. The Aluminum Stabicraft is unsinkable and easy to maintain. The anchor has a stainless tip (so as not to rust) and steel ballast (no need to melt out lead to re-galvanize). They make things to last as long as possible, which means less maintenance as well (stainless, aluminum, etc). A rib has a ticking clock on life expectancy along with the added maintenance that comes with maintaining it.

I have an aluminium dinghy with outboard. Not interested in a RIB in any way for the following reasons;
1. The harsh UV in Australia means a limited lifespan
2. Cannot run them easily onto a rocky beach
3. They require more power (fuel) compared to an equivalent size aluminium dinghy
4. Problematic to fish out of due to knives, hooks, fish with sharp teeth, etc. around the inflatable tubes
5. Not suitable to run crab pots due to worry about damaging the tubes
6. More expensive
7. Large tidal ranges mean you often have to drag the dinghy across sand/rocks to launch it from the beach.
Turn it around, what are the benefits of a RIB?
Why would I want a RIB when I have a robust aluminium dinghy that is easy to drive, doesn't have the worry of a limited lifespan, is cheaper and more robust to use in a harsh environment.
