6.8 M Harpoon extra-wide RIB for Sale

[Ken Collins]

For sale (at a lowered price) is our extra-wide 22' RIB that has lots of seating and storage and is fully outfitted with GPS, stereo, ski tow pole, powder-coated aluminum arch, 80-gallon stainless-steel fuel tank, built-in swim ladder, and galvanized trailer with brakes. This boat is ready-to-go for diving, skiing/tubing, fishing, adventure joy riding, Catalina crossings, Colorado River, Lake Powell, or wherever trips.

The tubes are built of UV-resistant PVC fabric with 6 independent air chambers and relief valves. Its fiberglass moderate deep-V hull provides a nice compromise of being tough enough to wave jump, yet flat enough for fast planning speeds: 42 mph max and nice cruising in the low 30s. The Evinrude new-generation two-stroke E-tech engine has great "out of the hole torque", exceeds EPA standards and runs smooth, quiet, and economically. (I prefer this engine over the heavier Hondas and Yamahas...) The boat, engine, and trailer all have transferrable, 5-year factory warranties (with ~4 1/2 years left).

I bought the boat from Harpoon RIBs, a Seattle-based company importing RIBs from China; and I rigged and commissioned the boat and engine here in San Diego three months ago with top quality gear, including: Lowrance 7" Color GPS/Depth finder with in-hull, flush-mount transducer and Nema 2K engine data monitoring, Fusion enclosed I-pod docking waterproof 200 Watt stereo system, Horizon VHF radio with arch-top whip antenna, 1000 Cranking amps starter battery, Gel cell deep cycle house battery, Blue Sea Systems automatic isolation/charging relay setup, Teleflex No-Feed-Back steering, CMS Hydraulic engine jack plate (for optimizing engine height/position for rough water, shallow water, and/or maximum speed), Danforth-style anchor with rope/chain, auto bilge pump, full cover, safety gear, and lifting bridle. Electronics all have West Marine 2-year transferrable warranty extension plans. Unfortunate personal circumstances are driving the immediate sale of this like-new toy. Asking price: $33,500 - or make a reasonable offer. Call Ken Collins for more details or to arrange a sea trial in San Diego: 619-224-7646.
