Rib wanted, Kintyre

[username]

Hi folks, looking for a rib and can pay up to about five grand.

It needs to be in, or willing to deliver to, Kintyre.

Not too stuck on spec but it does have to be seaworthy and at least 5 metres long. Would also consider a cat rib.

I know I have not given much to go on but it's just for pootling about, if a seven meter twin Honda turned up for five/six grand I would have it, if a 25hp old thing turned up for one and half grand I would have that.

Won't get a lot for 5k, maybe, old engined,old tubed rib, knackered trailer, think you might need to push yourself a bit on price, hope this helps

You may get a shallow V hull with an older engine on. Look for valiant or Humber assaults. Possible. Not easy. It's going to get more achievable sub 5m though.

Brand New Ultraflex Steering System This week.
Brand New jockey wheel & Breakaway Cable
New Wheel Bearings and ALKO Stainles Steel Brake Cables This Week

2 * 22 Litre Fuel Cans.
Boat Needs little bits but Nothing Major.Has been used for diving in its past , But I have owned it for the last 3 years for pleasure cruising.
It will do 36 knots +

Sorry damn predictive text also on road. Ones are relating to the rib where does he use it and what for, fuel usage can you see it running and trial run any damage. Asteroid should have read you have a friend who is local that can come and do all the test for you and take the rib for a spin. Service details and where he got it done. It's just to safeguard you from spammers remember no cheques cash on collection if its good.
