RIB Refurbish with Tuff-coat

[wgh52]

So I have a 12 year AB Rib that has a few small leaks in various locations and the fabrics has a few worn spots. I took the RIB to a repair shop and the verdict was not worth repairing (I might add they sold new ones). I'm thinking I only have 2 to 4 years left cruising so I not excited about purchasing a new dinghy. I found this product called Tuff-coat. There customer testimonies are good on there site, but would like to find someone that has used the product not on there site.

Thanks,

Bill

We used Tuff-Coat several years ago on our now 20+ year old hypalon Caribe dinghy. It has held up well to summer New England cruising, not rubbing off much or peeling. We used a single quart of Eco Tuff one part which seems to be called Renew now. My advice is to patch the leaks then give it a try, it's a cheap experiment that may keep your dinghy going a while longer.
