Hey fellas....got a question for ya!!!! Still on the fence on getting a rib. I know that a rib is a lot more comfortable in chop, and handles turns better and all that...but what I was wondering was... all things being equal, how much faster is a rib on the water than the same size Sib, and using the same engine and weight??? I heard they are faster, partly because of the hard hull vs. The soft bottom. Anyone have any input on the subject? A comparable rib is at least double the cost of the Sib, and if you only use it maybe 8-10 times a year....well??? And storage and a trailer are not a issue for me, so what are you guys thoughts on the speed difference? Thanks,,,, Joe.
