Do you mean this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AVON-RIB_W0QQi...item2a060a08e5

Ad looks ok to me, phone number was there yesterday and still is (google the number you'll see the Rib for sale elsewhere)
if your wondering about the comment
'Rev counter operating with the engine tilt for maximum performance'
well it's oddly put but I know what he means, new tubes by Ribshop? Well thats easy enough to find out, he's a regular contributor on here just ask him!
'It's fast' yep, 90 Yamaha on a 5.4 expect 38-40 knots.
Asking 3K with trailer, viewing possible, I think thats a good boat for someone.

Well Troon and Cornwall aren't exactly on the M1 corridor either!

Hello Kernow,I dont think he will.We all know how many things can be wrong with a boat.And coming from Scotland to get a rib is very costly to find it a duff one.I have seen some absolute rubbish on ebay when looking for a caravan you can never tell.I will let you know what its like tonight as i pick it up today.Regards Peter
