BETSEY BURDETT

SOUTHEAST EXPOSURE OUTDOOR ADVENTURE CENTER – KETCHIKAN, ALASKA

During our search for a small RIB boat that would accommodate our guests, we found a SOLAS boat that a guy was selling on EBay. We called SOLAS with our questions and arranged a trip to Washington to see and take one out for some sea trials. The boat proved to be safe, stable, fast and fun to drive. We were so impressed that we ordered three 14’ boats with a few custom modifications. Alan worked with us and was patient and responsive to our ideas and gave us honest feedback. He was involved in our entire order-start to follow up.

Each RIB seats four, with two benches facing forward. We ordered the boats in three colors, each powered by a 40 hp four stroke engine with console steering. The guests love zooming along in the boats, and when we are out in rough waters the guests enjoy sitting up on the tubes.
