Asis 8.0m RIB w/Suzuki 225HP FourStroke – SOLD

Several years ago it wasn’t that uncommon to find a 5 or 6 year old boat, still in the shrink wrapping, having never found a new home after the crash of 2009/2010. Whether that was because the dealer went out of business, totally changed their business model, or it was just plain ‘forgotten about’ stock… This Asis rib however is record-setting ‘new, old stock’. It was built in 2009 but was only sold and commissioned in 2017 – believe it or not!

The benefit to you is that this boat now presents in ‘as new’ condition but for less than half of what it would cost to buy a new version!

This Asis 8.0m rib and Suzuki 225HP motor were built in 2009, however the package was only commissioned and sold to her one and only owner in May 2017. Since then the boat has been very sparingly used (with less than 100 hours on the clock), it has never been antifouled, and it has been very carefully looked after and maintained by her one and only discerning owner.

If you’re not familiar with the Asis brand please check them out online. Built in Dubai, they are known for building high quality ribs with plenty of commercial and military clients. This 8.0m hull is still in production and it’s an extremely impressive boat. The hull is rated to carry an impressive 11 people plus gear and she’s category B rated – demonstrating just how robust this boat is.

Watch our video tour to find out just how impressive this rib is.

With the 225HP motor, the performance is effortless, with lots of power for pulling skiers and water toys – accentuated even more by the stainless steel tower with high level ski tow point. It hops on plane quickly, handles like it’s on rails and with hydraulic steering and super smooth side-mount controls it can be driven enthusiastically with only the lightest effort at the helm.

It feels super smooth and refined on the water and I’m sure she handles rough water with aplomb, and that’s exactly what you want from a sporty family rib.

The whole package is in great condition, and includes everything you need to get on the water right away – Twin Axle UK trailer, Garmin GPS Plotter / Fishfinder, VHF Radio, Anchor Windlass, Sports Tower, Swim Ladder, All-over Storage Cover, etc, etc. – Check out our video tour for all the details.
