Read the guide to ribs by miles, great info.. http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=20183&forum_id=45

I have some questions.. Some ducks seem to have a higher front section.. How does this affect operation? Looking for a 4-5m 30hp run around for some red fish spots in Struisbaai..

Also, I like the safety of ribs, but wouldn't mind a regular glass boat, what are the major differences power, deck space, economy differences?

Will an old school 2 stroke 25 to 30hp plane a 4m OK with 3 not so heavy guys and center console?? Want a nice balance between economy and power..

Also, I have the RYA skippers and vhf license, are samsa playing nice and are officials now recognizing these? I'd hate to have to pay again for courses..

Tx!
