To me the fat nose on a rib eye is fugly and doesn't look like it makes the boat any more functional. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
That said ... ...find me anyone who thinks this is beautiful:

Well, I'm about to find out what all the fuss is about..... 
To tell you the truth it doesn't really require a refurb, more a bit of authentic matlow endeavour with the ol' spit and polish and a bit of tlc.
Happy days.

Well.....
Very authentic 5.4 ex RN, Yamaha 90, halmatic console, detachable frame, etc, etc. In fact, you'll have seen the boat before. 
But I want to earn one of those 'This thread is useless without piccies' thingamajigs though.

Apparently.....another reason is that they fetch good money.
Avon Searider 4 (SR4) with Yamaha 50Hp and Trailer - £5,995.00
Is this fair.....? Not been into this long enough to tell if this is a good deal or not.?

That's the un-tidiest, tidy boat I've ever seen, there's sh1t everywhere, most of it would be over the side if you hit a biggun, get a grip man

He prefers 'em with a set of monkey bars (dive bottle rack) in the back for Gazzer to perform his horizontal routines off of in big water.
