Here we have a 34 years old Humber Sea Pro 4.8m RIB, formally known as the Alpha originally manufactured in 1990. The RIB was recently booked in by a commercial operator for it's first set of replacement tubes to be installed since the original purchase.
The customer went with a standard specification which included the following;
- 1300gms (1100 dtx) heavy duty hypalon fabric
- Inflation chambers, leafields C7 valves x 5 off
- Over Pressure relief valves x 5 off
- Mini double 'D' profile rubbing strake
- External life lines mounted on safety line holders
- External moulded grab handles x 4 off
- Emergency Repair kit
Upon removal of the exisiting tubes it was noted that the transom required some attention, due to water ingress caused by none sealed drill holes by third party. This was repaired whilst the new tubes were being manufactured, in order to not cause delay with lead time and any future issues in this area.
