That Marin is only 28ft or is the helmsman very large ? Is that the smallest fly bridge boat made do you think?
I never seen a rib with an actual cabin until I saw the redbay 1450 on aquaholics channel, usually they are just a few seats inside a cab and not much room outside. I want to go away from the tube style and try for few sharks and not be worried bout the feckers having a meal of themWell then if you're just want a hardtop and sold on the RIB concept there are plenty with both hard top and pilot house. couple here within that budget range Rib Boats & Inflatables For Sale | FAFB

One of those was on my list when I was looking. The one for sale at the time was well over the budget given by the op. And well above mine, happy with the Botnia Tarfish I ended up with.It is 28 foot. I wouldnt call it a flybridge, more of an external helm. Very capable boat and the pictures do her no justice. She is quite large for her length. I was enormously impressed by her stability in bumpy water. A bit like a brick in sand. Try kicking that over.
I agree, incredible amount of space a accommodation for a 32ft boat. A mix of a design that hasn't aged as much as some boat but also quite old fashioned in places - particularly the interior. Very cleverly designed.
. If you're coming from a rib you're not going to like the sedate performance of a single shaft driven boat like a Nimbus.
Another boat that is very highly regarded in the commercial and fishing groups is the Chetah catamaran. But they are very highly sought after and go for silly money for what they are.
