RIB Rescue are WA’s specialists in re-tubes for rigid inflatable boats. If you are looking to improve your vessel’s:
- Market Value
- Performance, Reliability and Safety
- Look and Presentation, or
- Overall Boating Experience
the team at RIB Rescue can achieve this with a tube replacement at a competitive cost.
If you are comparing us with other providers, here is some information that can help.
Choosing the material, design, manufacturer and fitting team for a re-tube is important and should not be done without careful research. There are real performance, durability and value differences in the re-tube process and a reputable workshop should be able to show you recent examples and put you in touch with several clients to talk to about their experiences. We are happy to provide this for our customers.
Workshops with experience and integrity will start with a full assessment of the vessel to ensure re-tubing the RIB will not be a wasted investment. You should consider the condition and age of the motor, the condition and integrity of the hull and deck structure and of course the condition of your fixtures, fittings and accessories.
Access to the rest of the vessel is much easier when the tubes are removed, so we perform repairs for our customers at the same time. Replacing the tubes on a vessel that needs further repair may delay repair costs in the immediate term, but this will increase the time needed to repair in future, so we recommend addressing all repair issues at once.
We believe it’s important for customers to have repair options and understand the differences, so we will always provide explanations and alternatives where possible.
During the re-tube process you have the opportunity to modify, change or upgrade your factory set of tubes. If there are inherent design flaws, poor placement of accessories or just colours and features you wish to change then this is the time to do it. Don’t just settle for the same factory tubes which in many cases are easy to get and cheap but well below standard. RIB Rescue can assess your current tube design and recommend a replacement. We can also show you all the colour and feature options available.
Our work is covered by a comprehensive warranty and guarantee on workmanship. We also provide a follow-up service and options for future adjustments and repairs.
