Avon 3.8m what model ?

Bought this AVON 3.8m RIB, no ID plates on it. Im thinking it might be a supersport or seasport as it used to have a center console in it.

But usually these models are 4.0M, maybe its a rover 3.8M ? cant find any decent model specs on the net.

It is a rover rib. If you remove the outside transom plate, where the motor clamps on, there should be a serial number hidden behind that.

its a 3.4m rover

Thanks Chris,
took both transom plates off but i think its had flow coat painted over top of ID/VIN.

Measured it at 3.4m, advertised as 3.6m but that is not a common size for AVONS especially ribs.

Paid $150 so am OK with what i have here.

i reckon its early 90s vintage

regards
OZ
