Ribcraft 585

I've got the chance to buy a 2003 Ribcraft 585 c/w Suzuski 115hp and trailor. It has low hours and is in pretty good condition. What sort of money should this be going for as a private sale?

It's got two twin jockey seats, built in fuel tanks, large A frame and based in Devon.
Sorry this would be my first rib so not sure of all details

RC 585 is a cracking boat, but I'd say a 115 is a bit underpowered. What's its history?

I had a RC585 (2003) with a yammy 115 which was lovely and did 35knts with out too much trouble - highest speed I ever got was 40.1 (though I'm sure the tide was behind me!)

If the tubes and general condition is good, the RIB has decent electronics and sub 250hours I would think £9 -11k would be a fair price.
