Yes I was.

It seems he has cleaned the tubes and painted the trailer. Funny; he had grand plans for getting it re-tubed and refitting the whole thing with a new engine when he'd collected it. Seems a hell of a lot for what it is....

He also seems to have antifouled it. Wonder why on earth he did that; shame becasue the hull was in remarkably good shape.

Antifoul is often used to hide all sorts of things!

I wonder if he's got a spellcheck? If he has he must be colourblind....

Certainly inspires confidence! I much prefer SR4's anyway

The tubes on the Ribtec do hold air so he must have deflated them for some reason.

He paid less than £700 for that searider; it was on B&O a couple of weeks ago. Interestingly he has antifouled that too...

More interesting would be why someone would sell an SR6 complete with trailer for £700 and describe the sr6 as a 'free rib'...

One wonders what the paint and tartup is hiding.
