A friend is evaluating Viper on Boats&Outboards

Anyone knowing this boat and its history ?

What do you think of her pricing ?

Nice Looking boat, not quite my taste when it comes to tube colour but you cant have everything can you

29,500 seems a fair price to me considering that boat, electronics and engine package would have cost at least £35,000 new and appears to be about 20 months old.

very average boats, not worth that money

If that is the case boats depreciate MUCH less than cars!!!

That may get the Osprey guys talking!

I would have to say it would be up with the best of RIB's of it's size, but I have to agree that the tube colour would not be my cup of tea

Firstly, I have not access to BM as was banned by my friend JF for eternity so was rest of Icelanders and we are invited instead to his favourite site.... on other hand I do know thing or two about boats so do not take Tim´s comment seriously.

I believe my friend will contact the owner shortly and if it comes to serious matter we will come across for test ride and inspect the boat and perhaps couple of others that might be of interest to him.

It obviously hasn't reached your parts yet, but racist comments (even in an unsophisticated attempt at humour) are no longer acceptable.
Just to help you in the unlikely event you ever find yourself in an international arena.

As unacceptable as your regionalist overtones and as lacking in humour as your pseudo intellectualism. Now stop being a cock.

I have observed that you are probably not very bright (and that's okay, nothing to be ashamed of), and as a result I expect you have forgotton your inane and rather childish remark in another thread about Central London being to your mind "central shitsville".
So it's perhaps better not to remark on others perceived regionalism, and may I also advise you that perhaps you should refrain from using playground insults such as "cock" if you wish to be taken seriously.

I stuffed mine while out with a right cock, she had been blowing a bit from the East at the time.

Oooh good question

Timw is obviously an expert to offer such advice let us benefit from this expertise to learn all about the faults and short comings of the Osprey Viper series.
