Rhino Rider RIBs

[TwoHooter]

I have been offered a Rhino Rider RIB, second hand. I've never heard of them. The seller says they may have been made by Quick Silver but it has a Mercury Boats plate on it. Does anyone know anything about this make?

Thanks. Not a great deal to go on but nothing bad - except the comment that it may not be the best in rougher water. We use our tender mainly in calm waters to travel up rivers where the mothership can't go but every now and then it does have to cross choppy waters.
I will sleep on this one.

I worked in a marina and boat hire business in the US for a student summer job over 20 years ago. We had a few Rhino Riders to rent out. I really hated them. There was something strange the way the hull was attached to the hull and water used to get in. I personally wouldn’t touch one. You’d be better off buying a modern aluminium hull rib as a tender.

Thanks Dino. That's very, very helpful.
I'd already decided not to bid for the one that's on ebay and your reply reinforces the decision.
