XS 500 Rib: UK Made Leisure and Commercial Craft
The XS 500 is the most widely used of our 2.2 m beam range. This craft still maintains the high sheer bow and has a hull profile designed to be pushed by economical motors.
A very popular craft with people who need a lot of room for family, fishing or just gear but want to keep the boat as easy to handle and tow as possible. 5 m craft are also the optimum size for most coastal sailing clubs for work boat and coaching roles.
This craft goes well with motors of 40 - 70 hp

We are often asked how tough the boats REALLY are. Island Conservation in the Seychelles have been doing this every day FOR YEARS and this is a calm day so as not to frighten the potential visitors off !
