Rib value advice please.

[drumblair]

I currently offer wild life trips with my boat Portland 10m with twin 300 hp Cats. As i'm 75 decided to sell for £32500 (recently reduced from £45K } or px for a smaller boat I can use for fishing. A gent has offered me a Humber Ocean Pro 7m with as new Suzuki 150 O/B last years model 25 hours}. Unsure about age of the rib but Hypalon tubes but seem to think it is 1997. Also 4 wheel trailer. I am unsure if the boat is worth the price he's suggesting £30k and would be grateful for any advice please.
Thanks Eric 07703 168097

Without seeing pics of layout & condition, I can’t offer any help with a value. What I can say without a shadow of doubt, is that launching a 7m RIB isn’t a one man job. If you’re looking for something manageable to play with in your dotage, I’d look for something smaller tbh.

Thanks for advice. Luckily I have a mooring at Nairn. I shall add pictures once down-loaded.

If tubes are in excellent condition and electronics recent the value seems in the right ball park.

I have an Ocean Pro 6.3 with 2023 Suzi 175 and 2024 retube. I would value it around 30k. Trailer is 4 wheel with new axles / brakes etc and I don’t put it in the sea as I crane it in single handed.

I think the important thing here is to cost to change, looks like he wants to get top money for his & give you bottom dollar for yours, irrespective of values I'd say you should be getting 10k to swap not 2.5k

Many thanks Karl, I'll try * get more info about the rib before I commit.
