Can anyone give me some thoughts on the Rendova line of RIB's, Personal experience, reviews, rumors, etc. Dan Winchester <www.dwinchester.com> Portland, Oregon

The pictures on Yachtworld.com look great, but, if you go by the Internet, it looks like the Florida company is no longer in business or at least their website is gone. They appear to be a deep-V fiberglass tub with a large inflatable tube around it. The 3 for sale on Yachtworld are not cheap and are not of recent manufacture. I wonder what the country of origin was/is.

we have a 15' Rendova on the 70 I run, nice tender. It's very well built, solid constuction, the SS arch is well designed and so is the helm, The forward bench folds out in to a boarding ladder, neat trick. Lots of storage too. Has flat non skid on top of the hull so you can step on a flat surface when boarding Made in the US (So fl) Fuel tank is under the sole. the only flaw is that the tank vent is on the side of teh console so if you overfill, fuel comes out in the boat. duh, what were they thinkiing. easy to fix but i rarely overfill the tank. it's a 2002 or 2003, not sure where is was made, but has been holding up pretty good. it has a 4 stroke 50hp Yam and it really flies... pascal miami, fl hatteras 53MY ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Winchester" <danw@dwinchester.com> To: "Trawlers-and-Trawlering" <trawlers-and-trawlering@lists.samurai.com> Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 10:22 AM Subject: T&T: Rendova Dingy > Can anyone give me some thoughts on the Rendova line of RIB's, Personal > experience, reviews, rumors, etc. > > Dan Winchester > <www.dwinchester.com> > Portland, Oregon > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.samurai.com/mailman/listinfo/trawlers-and-trawlering > > To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options (get password, change > email address, etc) go to: > http://lists.samurai.com/mailman/options/trawlers-and-trawlering > > Trawlers & Trawlering and T&T are trademarks of Water World > Productions.
