Ribcraft 4.8 wanted

[Jonny H]

Hi all
Im still looking for a Ribcraft 4.8 ideally with a double jockey seat and 60hp engine
My budget is upto £7000 but anything considered. Would also consider a Ribquest 4.8 but have never seen one for sale.
Many thanks
Jon

Give Dorien a ring at Ribcraft,he often knows of RIB's about to come on the Market

I've never seen a second-hand Ribquest 4.8 for sale in last 4 years of looking. Scarce beast indeed. This has been for sale for a while... Ribcraft 4.8m "Hornet" - boats for sale - Morgan Marine, UK, or break the piggy bank and blow it on this Ribcraft - FAFB

One just come up on ebay yesterday

I do like the one at Morgans but only a single jockey and an extra seat pod is £ 524 + VAT from Ribcraft and then would want an A frame so bumps the price up but going to have a look

The Raider looks ok just waiting for some more photos to be emailed

Ive emailed the guy on ebay so hopefully speak to him soon but the condition doesn't look that good but might be ok after some work

Anybody know if the colour will come back on faded tubes ?

Thanks for your replies.

Seen this one a couple of times up close in the last few weeks as I've been in and out of RIBS Marine ( and seen on the water for the last few years)

Does need a little TLC, but that in reality from what I have seen is just a few days work of tweaking etc . Been on the river at Christchurch for at least the last 5 years - which means it gets a good freshwater flush in the river.

Sort of tempted myself ...NO NO NO ! I can go in and take some pics and have a more detailed look if you want. Good dealer - not the cheapest but have done and do good work for me & others on there.

That's the one, there's a couple of points missing from the listing too

an hour to go and still on 2k .. especially with a "fairly" new tohatsu engine .. is a bargain!

go on .. you know you want to!

That's what I thought so I went to see it. Couple of discrepancies in the listing, for instance 'well serviced engine' means 'no history whatsoever' I won't be bidding

[whisper]

So what else is wrong with it?

[Kernow Buoy]

A frame buckled in some sort of impact, I think new tubes needed, trailer won't leave yard, engine not used for 12 months and looks rough under cowl, starts but sounds rough, half cav plate missing and damage on cowl. Hull isn't too bad gel coat damage here and there but nothing drastic. Sorry for briefness, I'm on iPhone in a field !

[ribraff]

I know of one for sale:

Dark blue tubes, white hull, Suzi Wong 60 4 str, on a reasonable trailer, it's pretty good overall.
PM me if anyone's interested.
