£6.5k as a working budget is pretty tight for anything over 6m, so once you get into larger RIBs then your ‘I don’t mind doing a bit of work’ is going to increase.
Check out FAFB. Always a good selection of projects and dream boats if you’re on the hunt.
Avon 4.7m here. Okay, old Mariner twins on it and over budget, but a great sea-keeping RIB, built like a **** brick house and lots of knowledge on the site.

Humber 5.2m. Not sure what the specification is and not a deep V hull, I think it’s an Assualt, but decent 4-stroke on the business end.
