7-8m 250-300hp c.£30k?

Ideally looking for around a used, but not ancient, 7-8m RIB, 250hp-300hp, around the £30k mark.

Does that even exist? Is the budget way too low, and if so what would the budget be for that type of boat?

Thanks

You’ll probably find something during the winter. Be a patience game for the right boat. Pre Covid would have got you a tidy 7.8 ribcraft. Add £15k now. Some mad prices out there!

Depends if you want a nice pretty leisure boat or a something thing a bit more utilitarian? 30k is still a decent budget

I suppose I was thinking more towards the pretty leisure boat end of the scale but i do also like a 'military spec' looking boat if there was one out there...!
