This Island Ribs 7.5m was built in 2016 as hull number 2. She has a hugely efficient Cummins Mercruiser QSD 2.0 litre engine giving 170 hp which has been immaculately maintained. CE rated for up to 7 persons there is dedicated seating for 5. A recent SBS twin axle road trailer make transportation straight forward, she also has a full winter cover and summer helm cover for protection.
