Revenger purchase advice please

Hi All,

I've just sold a sailing boat after many happy years cruising and I'm after a RIB to replace it with for a change of pace.

I've seen this: https://www.brokerage-bhgmarine.co.u...nger-715/14809

And I'm wondering if anyone would comment about its quality and price, given that it was launched in 2004, but massively refitted.

I'm not a RIB expert by any stretch so I'll be grateful for any help from you guys.

Thanks!

The 715 rib was a slightly budget revenger version. In reality they just used a simpler rear seat and well moulding and had a canvass rear seat storage area. They also used the flat helm bench. I nearly brought one as the price tag was quite a bit lower than the revenger 25.

Revenger of that age are really good quality. It's a fast hull with great cornering and a very respectable rough weather ride for its size. They aren't the most hardcore of ribs, very leisure/style orientated, with tapered tubes, the tubes don't always touch the water on a revenger so they can be a little rocky at rest. Not alarmingly but not what some runners would like. They might not compete with some hardcore ribs but they have round Britain race titles, rib racing success etc so are good enough.

I am pretty sure the new price was something similar to that list price. I'd guess it might be a little over priced for 2004. Looks pretty though.
