Re-tubing a RIB

[Steve Peters]

Hello, I need to retube my 14 foot Ahilles RIB, change out the old inflatable tubing around the FRP hull. I have a line on two or three tubes for this inflatable, but would like the exact one if someone has access to a good used one or some hither & yon.Has anyone here changed them, or have knowledge of how?Thanks,Steve.

Re-tubing

The Achilles are glued in place, a real job whereas the Zodiacs have a slide (bolt-rope?) system and change theirs easily.Some of the older Achilles are bolted on, and are fairly easy to change.
