Broker's Comments

XS RIBS are a UK company building a range of RIBS to order for the commercial and leisure boating market. They start at 3.6m and their largest boat currently is a 9.9m, both inboard and outboard

The 550 is big enough for coastal waters but still easily towable behind a family sized car and she comes on a trailer ready to go. The deluxe version has upgrades including a 110l inbuilt fuel tank and enclosed bow locker, extra handles and rails. She lives ashore in a full service yard and so has not been antifouled, she's dry sailed and recovered after each use

She comes with a Mercury 90hp outboard with plenty of service history and will be serviced again for the new owner.

I drove the 550 on an XS demo day a couple of years ago, lovely smooth ride and stays high (and therefore dry) which cannot be said for all RIBs of this size. The hull and tubes look in great shape and she appears to be a well cared for example of a versatile RIB
