Now Reduced Owner Says Sell!

Airib is the evolution of the Naiad brand, made by a company who have been building RIB's since 1988. Naiad has been a successful and popular product with features carried on to the new brand name. These RIB's are different in many ways to most other products in this category. Firstly the hull is alloy and a complete welded hull with gunwhales and sealed decks. This feature enhances durability and protects the sponsons both from inside and out. The sponsons or pontoons are also a well engineered and designed arrangement with and outer skin and inner air tubes. Because there are several airtubes not connected to one another, one can be pierced or punctured and the others will just take up the space released and thus bouyancy is not compromised. These units are also low pressure and easy maintenance. This centre console styled vessel has a four stroke Honda 90HP as the main power unit and an 8 HP Yamaha as the auxillary (two motors required for 2C survey) The RIB also has a twin battery setup (also required for 2C survey) with a switch. The vessel will cruise all day at 20 knots without emptying a 100 litre tank. The vessel has been fitted out with a full cockpit bimini, foldaway rear lounge which has a swing away HD dive ladder incorporated. The cockpit space can be opened up beautifully for diving or fishing, but there is ample provision for a decent crew to get themselves seated if needs be. The driver has a Furuno 7000 GPS/plotter/sounder unit and VHF radio installed at the driving station leaving the console with space and an uncluttered feel. The unit rides on a registered tandem axle Dunbier trailer with spare and hand winch (although most will simply dive this vessel on and off). The Airib was originally utilised as a university dive research boat and then a rig tender and as such is a very capable boat. The current owner uses it privately but has kept up the survey and the rig will be sold in 2C. This Rib has a multitude of uses and is good to go. Commercial or private buyers will all find applications for this vessel so call rob or Ian now on the toll free number 1300 309 567 for more information, or use the "enquiry tool" below to register your details and we'll be in touch.
