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.

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.
