The perceived upsides are that as the kids get older and want to do more jumping and swimming from the boat, a rib enables "launch and recovery" better, without the need necessarily for a boarding ladder. Same is true for adults swimming or diving from it. I can trailer a rib to the south-west for fishing/boating/diving, and also keep it on the dry stack at Gosport as a home marina. What are the downsides to rib ownership that I haven't thought of? Perhaps you need a fishing trip on a RIB. I will see what I can do during the summer.
