Storm Running in the RIB

How was it up here? We were down on Sanibel Island this weekend when the storm rolled through on Saturday night. The water was NASTY.
 
What kind of rib is it? Length? Power?

I am looking seriously at one of Stevie Curtis/Jim Dyke's Airships.

Hi Rich
It is a SACS 6.8 meter (hull only) about 25' with the tubes. It goes 44 MPH a 150 Johnson. Has a ton of storage and is rated for 16 people and 150 Kilo of luggage. It has a real soft dry ride. I added a fair amount of weight to it. Added a battery and upgraded to both Group 31. 1k Honda genset ,Windlass,Stereo 40 gallon Fresh Water etc.
The Aiships/Cougar are stunning and seem to run really well I have heard 70 with a big Verado CMS has one.

The Miss GEICO team really loves our 10 meter Cougar Rib. It's tremendous in the bump and will run Low 70's with a pair of Mercury 300xs's 4 guys a T top and full load of fuel. I've chased down more than a few offshore boats in her and seen some wide eyes as we pass. Lots of compartments rigging is great and trim Items right off the Sunseeker line. CMS sold their Airship to David Woods it's beautiful (Bob does everthing cool) will do 65mph and last I spoke with David was ready to make a deal.
 
We took the RIB out to check out the storms yesterday.

It was rougher than that in Galveston bay Sunday, as usual the marine forcast of "baywaters smooth to slightly choppy" was wrong. we experienced 2-4's with the occasional 5' roller. Plenty of airtime on the run back from Kemah.:USA:

Actually it seems like the only time the bay is smooth is when they have a poker run scheduled.

Cool RIB
