That Mk III Hurricane on the CO2inflatables site is my old boat! If anyone is looking for a small RIB, it's an awesome little boat!

It has been re-powered since I had it by the local boat guy... It will fly with a 75 on it... I had a old beater 60.

If anyone wants the inside poop, feel free to ask...

Their should be some room to haggle though... I sold it about 7 years ago for $9000...

If anyone is looking at it, make sure you drop it into the water first. Before I bought it, the transom was cut down a bit to accomodate a "to-short" engine, so there was only abou 1 1/2" of clearance from water level to transom top. Fast stop=wet feet! With the additional weight (I assume) of a 75, it could be an issue.... Mind you, the scuppers worked pretty well...

Also, there is a major patch on the starboard bow... the result of being rear-ended when I was in Kingston. It was about a 3' tear in the tubes, but it was professionally patched and the last I saw it, the patch was holding fine... from 7 years ago.

I miss my little boat... especially the mileage! Maybe I should trade down!
