2018 Ribcraft 7.8

This 2018 Ribcraft 7.8 is a 25-foot rigid inflatable powered by a Yamaha F250 four-stroke engine with 396 hours. Built by Ribcraft, it combines the responsive handling and durability typical of the brand with a design suited for both offshore and tender work.

The boat accommodates multiple passengers with a front bench seat upholstered in grey cushions and a custom leaning post with aft-facing bench. The console includes a removable T-Top, windscreen with grab rail, and comprehensive instrumentation: an eight-switch electrical panel, compass, and navigation lights. Additional features include hydraulic steering, an anchor locker, bow storage box with cushion, cup holders, and synthetic teak decking.

The hull uses 1670 DTX Hypalon tubing with seven chambers and seven pressure relief valves, reinforced by a heavy-duty rubstrake and lifelines. Twin electric bilge pumps and a manual backup support redundancy. The tube grab handles, bow eye, cleat, and stern tie-down eyes provide secure handling on deck.

A custom Loadmaster heavy-duty steel trailer with oversized stainless surge brakes is included. Recent work includes bottom paint and regular engine servicing. The boat was stored indoors in climate-controlled conditions and maintained throughout its service life.
