Exceptional Condition – Re-tubed in 2021 – Comprehensive Service History

We are pleased to present this impeccably maintained Ribeye 550, which stands as a prime example of this highly versatile and popular RIB model. A standout feature of this craft is the 2021 hypalon impression re-tube, which provides a crisp, contemporary aesthetic typically found on much newer vessels. The tubes are in pristine condition, and because the hull has never been anti-fouled, this boat remains far superior to many other examples of a similar vintage.

This vessel has received significant investment under careful ownership, including the installation of a new fuel tank in 2023. Furthermore, the Yamaha F100 DETL outboard has been meticulously maintained, boasting a comprehensive service record and showing only 321 operating hours. The Yamaha engine offers a perfect blend of fuel efficiency and performance for the Ribeye 550, while the inventory includes a Garmin GPS plotter, Garmin VHF, Yamaha multifunction gauges, Fusion stereo system, teak decking, an A-frame with ski eye, a boarding platform featuring a folding ladder, and a mooring cover.

The boat comes complete with a Rollerglide road trailer, enhancing its versatility and allowing for effortless transport and secure shore storage when off the water. With its 2021 re-tube, 2023 fuel tank, and excellent maintenance history, this RIB is a highly attractive option for anyone seeking a high-quality 5.5m boat without the premium price tag of a newer model.

She is fully prepared for you to enjoy for the rest of the season and offers a fantastic chance to secure a well-loved Ribeye 550 with all the major age-related upgrades already completed. We strongly suggest arranging a viewing to fully appreciate this craft.
