Hi Guys,
I've just joined as I want to sell my diving rhib and am wondering about it's value, any advice would be welcomed.
It's a Mach 5,8m 1997. Engine is Evenrude 115 E-TEC 2017 165 hours. Trailer Whitewater twin axle recently serviced. plotter, VHF and spares.
Its not been used much recently and I think needs to go to a new home. Advice on where I could get a valuation would be welcome.

Hi Ian. I think the best way forward would be to try to get a valuation for the engine by looking on sights such as ebay, boats and outboards, and also on here perhaps. Most of your value will be in the engine, but a decently set-up rib can demand a decent price. Assuming you bought second hand, if what you paid for it then, still sounds reasonable now, then that can be a decent indicator. You could always go down the brokerage route I suppose. A good yard will give advice on what it might be worth, but you will have to pay whatever the brokerage fees are- either a percentage or an agreed price.

Hi ptm, Thanks for your advice, I've asked at the local marina who say £12k to £14k. I'll do more research.. Ian
