Marblehead, MA June 23, 2006 – RIBCRAFT, the United States manufacturer of rigid inflatable boats for law enforcement, safety professionals, and military agencies, today announced the delivery of a specialized RIBCRAFT 6.5 to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Featuring a tube rugeddizing package with dark grey Hypalon tube & black reinforcing, this low profile fast response craft with a single OptiMax Mercury engine was specifically designed to compete with the high horsepower fishing boats found on the lake.
