Pictures Of New Hydroeye RIB

[Jeff Therrell]

This is the most advanced RIB to ever hit the market!The press release is posted on the website.Believe me this is the most amazing boat I have ever ridin in.It was tested for 2 months in the ocean in Miami.We will begin production in the next few weeks. This design allows a lower hp engine because of the low drag cat hull.A 13' tender is in the works now and will be available later in the summer.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
You don't seem to have posted any photos or links. I'm quite curious as to what could be so revolutionary about your new RIB- care to elaborate?

[Jeff Therrell]

I'm sorry the website is www.hydroeye.com What is so different is the modified cat hull with flow thru keels,when the boat is at rest the keels fill with water for ballast,when the boat takes off it dumps the water and is dry while on plane.
Thanks

Looks pretty cool.
Afraid you might be up for a little legal battle though- Zodiac patented something very similar, except with the rigid component in multiple sections that could be folded, back in 1999 under the nameplate "Ribster".

Zodiac has never had a cat rib we have 9 patents pending on this cat hull.Zodiac has seen this boat already.
