Tell me Jon, why exactly I should take heed of "good advice" that doesn't answer the question. Just saying. Another option would be a FRIB, not the cheapest solution but one of the best as it is a half way house, http://foldablerib.com/product/f-rib-360/ Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Ok, so I know @Andy135has been on the edge of his seat all evening, I asked two friends who have them, one with a 3.2 with inflatable deck who wishes he had bought an aluminium deck one and one with an aluminium deck on a slightly bigger who said the deck does make it a lot heavier and would be happy with a soft deck. Both use them out of a car without issue. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The op asked about a rib he could fold up, they are few and far between, hence my suggestion of a trailer. Presumably the op would really need a sib rather than a rib?
