7 to 7.5m humber, rib craft or similar

I'm looking for a 7.5m (ideally humber ocean pro or offshore)

Looking for function over form

Happy to pay for something that's been loved and cherished

Must be double console, ideally with a pair of jockey seats behind

Must be outboard, not inboard, ideally 2 stroke di but happy to consider four stroke,

Would prefer:
Twin axle trailer
One previous owner
Service history
Ideally orange, blue or black tubes
Range odd nav and smart dials
Stainless a frame

Funds ready for the right rib

7 to 7.5m humber, rib craft or similar

Worth checking the sale section - there are some really nice ribs for sale there!

RIBase
Slightly under your size spec, but ticks most of the other boxes

If it's really a choice go for Ribcraft...you're not too far from the Factory,and I'm sure they'd be happy to give you the lowdown tour

Maybe worth checking this too: Redbay 7.4m



I know this boat, in fact I saw it being built. It belongs to one of the team at Redbay Boats (the local RNLI helm) and was built to the usual RBB standards plus a little bit of Special Love. It has lived under a cover at the yard since and hasn't seen a great deal of use as the owner has the choice of using any boat in the "Dreamworks" and he puts it about a bit...

The ONLY hull to consider within this size range has to be the 7m Vipermax.

That's a lovely looking boat, the spec sounds very impressive, I never tire of ISO references even if they mean nowt to me!
I'm not sure id be too comfortable sat on the jockey seats if HI found out I'd spent 30k on one, 25k was really pushing it!

Hi, I have just decided to sell my 6.5 Tornado. Meets your spec, but slightly smaller. It is a 2004 boat been in the family from new. I have all original sale information and some service history. 150 Mercury Optimax. Just under 400 hours on her and in excellent condition, ready to go. I am now after a larger cabin rib.

I have not advertised anywhere yet, as only just decided to sell. Has served me very well over the years and been completely reliable. I have cruised the Scillies, west coast Scotland, most of Brittany and regularly cross the the channel in this boat. Any Sea trial is welcome.
