Cheapest ribcraft 585 ever maybe?
Not for the faint hearted but if someone wanted a worthwhile project £30 might just buy you a ribcraft 585 here to customize to your own specifications

Well spotted. The hull looks remarkably clean.

Someone needs to buy it & do a build thread hull does look clean probably half an hour with a jet wash to blast the muck off & a stanley knife to get the tubes off it would look 10x better

Looks like somebody has had a short shaft engine on it at some stage, cut the transom to suit and built the box to try and stop the flooding.
Could be the reason it fell out of use.
But building the transom back up is easy, splashing out £5.5K -£6.5K on a new set of tubes will feel hard to justify.

You cant retube for £1k/mtr nowadays probably more like 7.5k but if someone wants a forever boat customised to their specifications & can do the work then when a new boat is north of 60k this could still be a cheap option. Obviously wouldnt stack up if you were to sell short term but if you wanted new tubes up to date electronics & a new engine install it could easily be less than half the new cost . Retubes rarely make economic sense but it depends on wether you want new tubes & everything else new or if you can live with older tubes & outdated electronics etc.

As much as the cost to rebuild would be a bit hard to swallow, I would prefer to see rib restored and not thrown away.
