Wanted Ribcraft 6.8

[bestman]

Further to the feedback on my last wanted post, I’m now also looking at a bigger Ribcraft.

6.8m with same layout of before - preferably 4 jockeys and a rear bench.

Well there is a advertised 2017 here

Thanks Waverider - but that one has gone already.

have you asked on ribcraft facebook

[bestman]

The 7.8m has also gone pending sea trial next week - although might have been underpowered with 200hp? Have asked on FB RC page. Cheers for suggestions

I wish - but she's a little over budget.

Other than that there is nothing for sale or being sold before they hit the market.

Generally people buying new ribcraft already own one. Ask ribcraft if anything is coming up

Thanks for your help - Asking RC is a good idea, I'll have a 4.8 for sale if I can find a bigger boat...

would be very surprised if that is a 2020 hull more a 2020 refit by the sounds of it and a very nice one but it does seem very overpriced

Good luck with the search loving mine

Is this the old scam again ? ,i have been watching this boat for a year or more ,but never been to look ,or spoke to anyone ,but it was in Dartford in Kent ,and appeared on bid on ebay ,probhably 30 times this year ,but it usually runs the seven days with no bids ,41k plus vat i think which i always thought was genuine as it was stated as a workboat from Thames duties

For anyone following this thread I'll have a 2001 Ribcraft 6.8 coming up for sale in March. I think I've already messaged the OP who isnt keen on the seating layout.

Mine has a dual console, 4 jcokey seats with wingbacks, and a suicide bench seat. 225HP Optimax with 550 hours.

Full details will be posted once I've completed the re-fit and repairs, but if anyone is keen please feel free to contact me. Price will be in the region of £20k.

Thanks

Hi,
I have a 6.8 with a 225HP Honda for sale.
I live in Washington State. USA.
I think you are in the UK, so the logistics would be difficult.
If not let me know.
