Hi,

I am looking at a yam 480r rib. Do these boats have a deep vee and how do they handle in the rough stuff?
Could you compare it to a 4.7 searider?

Many thanks

Nathan

Hop over to Ribnet mate.

You'll find the Yam480 won't ever be the boat the 4.7 searider is though...

Dunno what's available in the UK other than perhaps the boat your refering to OP, but my search in Canada has led me to Seamax 380 after a lot of searching and looking at the quality and pricing of it v. others. Granted there are better boats at about twice the price. Seamax is the only Inflatable, I'm aware of, that has been approved by Transport Canada for registration/licensing.
