How do I value a 25 year old RIB?

[David G]

As the subject implies; how do I go about getting a fair price for buyer and seller for a 25 year old RIB?
Thanks in advance for any tips?

If the RIB and engine are runners - I'd be looking at what else they can buy that runs in that size/power bracket. Age isn't as important as condition in that general vintage, if you get my drift....

The older it gets, the more difficult it is to establish a market value.

I bought my 1992 SR 5.4 2010. Original tubes, was far from perfect but OK' ish. At that time my idea was to use it a few years and then re tube. Now done a few minimal DIY repairs, still don't need to re tube in a few years. In my case the value of the boat without engine is not that much but for me its still worth plenty as its usable without any investments.

I know this does not help but for really old boats the price is fair when buyer and seller are both happy...

Tubes, tubes and more tubes.

Anything else is relatively easily repairable or replaceable but knackered tubes are a big ticket item that you can't use or sell the boat without.

Everything works reasonably well; most things are just getting a bit old...........a little niggle here, a little niggle there, all fixable each time.
