Hi.

First post here, so sorry if its in the wrong section or anything. Its a bit of a longshot, but Ive just bought this....

...and it has no make, model or numbers on it. It's a tri-hull style Rib, and the guy i bought it from doesnt know anything about it, as the guy he bought it from doesnt know etc etc..

Wondering if any of the venerable designers & experts that populate this board may have any ideas, one of your prototypes etc? :)

Its 4.5metres by 2.5 metres & really fast :)

There's a few manufacturers of stuff like that. Unless it's positively ancient, which it doesn't look like it is, there's gotta be a capacity plate- and an Hull Identification Number (HIN). The capacity plate, if it has one, would be on the inside of the transom near the motor mount. The HIN is usually on the outer starboard corner of the transom. The first 3 letters of the HIN are a code for the hull builder, which is pretty easy to look up.

seriously, there's no maker or numbers anywhere whatsoever.

when you say "there's a few manufacturers of stuff like that", could you give me a few examples so I can enquire please?
