Rib wanted around 5m & £9k

[bammmy]

Hello,
Having had a look around, decided to up my budget, what I am after ain't there for the money I thought��
Budget now around £9k.
Like the look of Brig F450 or Brig F500, or similar, with around a 50hp.
Any ideas ???

Many thanks.

Used Zodiac Medline RIB with Mariner 60HP Outboard Engine and Trailer - £6,995.00

This doesn't look a bad package, and it is in your price range.

Hi Mark,
Many thanks for taking the time to reply, it is appreciated.
I've had a look at the advert, it is a year 2001. As I am new to the rib world, I have been reading numerous threads on here, it generally says to take caution with tubes over 10 years old and this appears around 16 years!
I will give this a miss one for that reason and I will keep looking.
If you spot anything else, please let me know.
Again appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Ah, didn't notice the age, mate, just remembered seeing it when I was looking for my first RIB and thought it looked a tidy little set-up.

Just got a Ballistic 5.5m with a 90hp Evinrude, hopefully going on its maiden voyage this weekend

It is a 2007, but seems to be in good shape.

Happy hunting!

Cheers

Thanks Mark and good luck on your maiden voyage.

HI Mark

I have a little bigger boat for sale that might be an option? 5.8m tornado.

budget would work.

Hi,
Many thanks for taking the time to reply.
What you have for sale is not quite what I'm after, but I wish you good luck with your sale.

I am still looking so if anybody else has a rib for sale that they think maybe suitable please let me know.

Spotted this Ocean Rib 2004 Yacht Boat For Sale in Milford Haven - £8,495.00

Hypalon tubes last longer than pvc and if is been covered and garaged rather than left in the sun makes a big difference (not saying the one above has mind you)

Hi. The 5.8 tornado above was re-tubed in 2012 by hensure with hylalon tubes. The boat has a very good full cover that is on when boat not in the water.
