Asis 5.1m RIB w/ Suzuki 80HP FourStroke - £13,500

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. This Asis rib however sets the new record for ‘new, old stock’. It was built in 2009 but didn’t actually sell until 2017, believe it or not!

This Asis 5.1m rib and Suzuki 80HP motor were built in 2009, however the package was only commissioned and sold to her first owner in January 2017. At that time the owner also purchased a brand new Indespension Roller Coaster trailer. Since then the boat has been very sparingly used (with around 60 hours on the clock), it has never been kept in the water, never been antifouled and it has been very carefully looked after by her discerning owners.

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 5.1m model is still in their current line up and it’s an extremely impressive boat. The hull is rated to carry 6 people plus gear and will actually take up to a 120HP motor – demonstrating just how robust this boat is.

With the 80HP motor, the performance is effortless, with lots of power for pulling skiers and water toys. But what’s even more impressive for me is that the boat doesn’t feel over-powered even with such a big motor on the back. It hops on plane quickly, it keeps the nose down (even with only a helmsman on board) 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 like a much bigger boat on the water than it’s size would suggest, and that’s exactly what you want from a little sporty family rib.

The excellent build quality extends to lots of impressive design touches, like the under-floor 108L fuel tank, in-floor ski locker and solid helm console. But there’s just too much to list here… You’d be better off watching our video review to get all the details.

The Full Length Video you see here was shot when we previously sold the boat in late 2019 , check out the photo gallery below and the update video to see how it is looking today – late July 2026.

To find out more about this boat you should watch the full length 33 minute long video review. It goes into more detail than you can imagine, but it’s intended to give you almost as good a look at this boat as you’d have if you came to see it in person.
