This rib was named the world's fastest 5.5 meter production rib. Until today it is no rib in its class has succeeded with a 70 hp outboard motor and two passengers in the boat, with a speed of 39 knots it gets onto the plane quickly.

The strength of this boat lies in the fact that it performs well with a relatively small engine but still produces high speeds this is achieved because of the double stepped hull.

This overall performer warrants high speeds, but is certainly suitable just cruising at low speeds also. With a relatively light engine it is possible to get onto the plane even with four adults.

The sophisticated stepped hull design performs so well you can get a decent speed combined with good fuel economy.

The compact dimensions make it perfect for Rib for tight storage areas. The 555 is often used with a Buddy "stand by boat" during regattas.
