Wanted Delta 5.5

DJS · 18 July 2010, 15:00

Still seeking a Delta 5.5, having purchased a 5.5 in the last two weeks I am still seeking a decent rib. To cut a long story short, I passed the previous purchase on to a collegue who is more keen to redo the hull than I was.

Happy to retube but it must have a good hull preferably non painted and a decent deck. Also happy to purchase a complete boat but must have 90hp or more.

Thanks folks

not easy to find a good Delta 5.5

Yes it does seam to be difficult and I suppose people are either holding on to them or most of the later ones e.g year 2000 and on were used by fire or police services and maybe they don’t come on the market again, however I will persevere!!

How about this one. It's just popped up on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Hi there

Thanks for the referral and I should have updated my post as I am now the owner of a very good Delta. The deck, hull and tubes are near perfect with only a few scuffs on the hull. I have just serviced the trailer and engine and the whole package runs perfect.

I think the one on ebay is one I previously enquired about a few months ago and if it is (I had a guy look at it) the deck is spongy and the transom is separating.
