Reconditioning

In this day and age, our time is valuable and we all must do our best to stretch out every dollar we can. Many people see a RIB in poor condition and think its life is over and it must be replaced. What makes matters worse is that is how most of our competitors prefer you to think. We like to look at things a bit more realistically. We have developed a process to rejuvenate the Hypalon tubes of your boat. A small repair can make the tubes look like new and get the fiberglass to shine brightly again. Next thing you know, your boat is ready to give you a much longer service life. We believe that a RIB can have a very long life cycle.

Tube Repairs

Short of a complete retubing that can restore your RIB to its “better than new” condition, tube probems might be such that they can be safely repaired. Our repair gurus can do a full inspection and give you an unbiased, honest report on the repair options available. If we can get you out the door safely and quickly with tube repairs that we know will hold up, we know that you will be happy. If tube repairs turn out not to be a safe option, we think you’ll also be happy knowing that we are not afraid to “tell it like it is.”

Hull Repairs

A RIB’s integrity is only as sound as the supporting structure beneath the tubes. A hull failure can render the finest set of hypalon tubes totally useless. Before that happens, bring your hull issues to us so that we can make them right. Peace of mind is important, but the safety of you and your loved ones is even moreso. Bottom line is that at AI Boats we know RIB’s stem to stern (no pun intended), and we’re going to share with you the best way to fix whatever’s wrong with your boat. How you proceed is up to you. How you should proceed is going to come from us.

Engine Repairs

We offer complete mechanical service to most makes of outboards on the market today. We are a Full Line Honda Dealer and also specialize in the servicing and repair of Evinrude, Johnson, Mercury, Nissan, Suzuki, Tohatsu and Yamaha outboards. We’re generally able to get your outboard back to “running right” condition. If it’s not there right now, we’ll be happy to give you a free estimate of what it could cost to get it there. request Engine Service estimate

Engine Rigging

Rigging an engine on a RIB involves a number of factors. In addition to the obvious - size of the boat, size of the engine - balance, weight, and the intended use also need to be considered. Here at AI BOATS we take a look at the complete picture before coming up with a recommended configuration. The larger the RIB and the larger the engine, the more complex the rigging becomes. Don’t trust the job to amateurs. Let AI BOATS guide you to a safe, first rate installation.

Equipment Upgrades

Perhaps when you first got your RIB a console just wasn’t in the plan. Now, bolstered by a couple of years’ experience, it seems like a better idea. But consoles aren’t the only equipment upgrades you might consider. Improved seating, automatic bilge pumps, nav lights - lots of improvements are available to make your boating experience safer and more enjoyable. We can help you choose the options you want (or need) to make that experience come true.
