How about virgilis 1000+lb blue fin, and no red grouper title? One in my avatar went 11lbs, it's a start.

Capacity is 7 persons, have to check weight

That wasn't my question. I wanted to know what small things you think I'll need to be able to fix. I'm getting new Hypalon tubes for the boat.
small patch work, rub rails coming apart (make sure you get low profile rub rails) seams eventually fail. if you get new tubes you should have a couple of years of warranty, usually 5 years. just keep it out of the sun, the sun dries up the hypalon and neoprene lining and always keep the tubes with sufficient pressure
-
Thanks. Can you be more specific about this?I understand there's always the possibility of a puncture, and I'm comfortable fixing something like that. Did you have something else in mind?
as far as selling mine? nothing now maybe will jump on a big CC next year. shopping for a yak now to atleast be able to do some diving. -
Dan, I have worked on several RIBs and can tell you the difference between hypalon and PVC is huge, even with hypalon tubes you need to be able to fix small things unless you plan on spending a fortune. I dotn know if you have been quoted for a retube but plan on spending around 4k in hypalon. If you need any help LMK ill be glad to give you a hand and know a few shops around town. On a plus side, Ive owned and dove plenty of boats from triple outboard avanti's to small bay boats and the RIB is by far my favorite dive platform aside from big cats for blue water

It's all in the prep, in your case best bet would be to Sand blast it then paint it with galvanized paint, POR 15 is the best but $$$$
-
Would you say the max capacity is three or four ?
I usually fish 3 with full blue water/reef gear, I have had 6 people on board to go to the sand bar. You can fish 4 but it might be a little cramped with gear

Which generation footpockets?
newest ones i believe, The foot pockets are 1 month old
-
If you can´t sell them for any reason, you may try to fix them with some layers of fiberglass and epoxy. Send them to your local surf shop. The fix is not perfect but it holds.
I am going to fix them if I get time, I do glass work for alot of local companies
