Hi all - this sounds like a great boat, lots of money spent on it apparently. Relisted on Ebay after getting zero bids. Anyone got any views on or experience of these things. I know nothing about RIBs but the tubes look a little crinkly in places...is it worth a bid? TIA!

There's something odd about the circumstance of that small rib. Reckons he's just spent £2600 getting it tip top... really... on something he's selling for around £4k. It must have been in very poor condition then... perhaps he bought it for peanuts in rough condition just to turn a profit??

Also I'd not buy with the condition you immediately transfer £500 by Paypal... I'd want to see it before parting with a penny.

Yes my thoughts exactly. The £500 thing is suspicious. All in all it seems a little dubious.

Looks tidy and legit to me. Arimar are quite popular tenders on larger boats.

Well worth having a look if you like the look of it. Tubes look a bit soft in the photos but probably just need topping up.
