6m jet RIB

[tue]

Has anybody ever seen a RIB like this? Or have any views on it. I haven't bought it, but do have the chance to. Any views welcome good AND bad.

Owing to my distinct lack of knowledge on this subject, I reckon that for that money (if you're getting her for a similar cost to the end auction amount) it sounds like a fair bargain.

You'd have to put up with the colour though...

All depends what you want it for - if you just want a "toy" to have fun in then

or

http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F66101/ - needs an outboard but looks great - buy a cheap engine now and a better one later?

Very nice zodiac but £7200 still the price of that ebay thing is rising quite a bit!!!

To be honest it looks a bit too industrial - seems heavy for it's size and although a diesel the weight and lack of efficieny of the jet unit MAY not make it quite as cheap to run as it could be. Quite slow as well......

It's parked in my space in the Marine at Ramsgate as it happens - nearly moved it this evening but was in a good mood!!!

Looks in good condition although i did not inspect closely. The "tubes" are foam not air. I could take a close look tommorow if you like???

[tue]

If you could have a quick scan over it and see what it looks looks then great. I don't fancy a drive up there with an empty trailer and find its a pile

[Daniel]

No trouble. Prehaps i should reclaim my space then... chance for a good nose round. I'll try and get some piccys for you... if you are serious you could arrange for me to meet owner and go out for 10mins prehaps?

Thanks Daniel. I have emailed the guy to send me some piccies, but if you could get some unbiased ones!! that would be great . If all looks good then I will come up and go for a spin to check it out myself.

Tue, it looks like a blue one of the type that is parked in our club compound.

Check the hull - it says it is good but marked!!!

[paul tilley]

looks like a watercraft RI6 aluminium hull with PU foam collars that eventually absorb water designed by david steel for fast rescue service on large ships i think there was also an air filled version of the tube
