Excel vanguard 430
With an evinrude etec 30hp
Both late 2013
For sale locally
Can't find much info regarding excel inflatables, but looks decent bit of kit
It's a sib, not a rib, however rib insurance seems to be much more expensive
Thoughts/opinions please.....

For what it's worth we had a Excel 5m sib at work inspecting around jetties rubbing up against barnacles etc served us well with no probs till it got nicked.

Nah.....the amount of fun is apparently inversely proportional to the amount of money spent*
*So some say - but it could be total rowlocks.

Stig'73 have a look at this decent report on the Vanguard 435...
http://www.excel-inflatables.co.uk/p...est_Report.pdf
Excel are perhaps less frequently talked of than the Honwave in the cheaper ranges but are very similar in quality (i.e. totally fine). There have been people on here in the past with them both cherished and chucked in sheds... never heard a complaint in either type of use.

Looks like a good Sib.
The Vanguard 430 looks near identical to The Gurnard's Quicksilver 430 HD.
Wonder if they are one and the same????
