Money to burn I guess!
We'd all buy a new boat every year if we could

The boats as good as any other Ribquest, Dave and co at RIBQUEST worked hard to get it finished.
We are selling it due to a recent change in planning restriction and have a new boat in build.
Please do not start slagging off the boat as we all work for what we have.

I don't understand it either. It must surely be a steal at that price, or is it just that anybody who can afford to run a 10m rib with 600hp will pay the extra to buy brand new and get exactly what they want?
If I had the money for a 10m boat it wouldn't be that it would be something with a full cabin, but that's just a function of my location. If I lived somewhere a trifle warmer I'd be off to the nearest bank with a sawn off shotgun and a balaclava

I think its more the running cost... I run two 150hp engines.. and that quickly builds up a nice fuel bill. WOT on mine, hitting 5500 rpm ish, I get about around 55 knots, and burn 120l/h.... I hate to think what these would cost to run.
That said, running this boat state side, or somewhere else where petrol isn't £1.30/l it would be a great boat to run

I am not sure it is low hours, I asked about that when it was last on eBay and seem to recall the engines were used at the time of fitting.

I think you're right - I seem to remember seeing a few hundred engine hours being mentioned somewhere?

Not another one ?!
So what's the score with Bear Grylls selling "yet another" rib at a hugely discounted price then ????
Tax loophole or something ?

Consider more carefully who is actually selling the RIB.

Strange. first the Cougar, then the RibQuest and now the M-rib. i thought he had an Oceandynamics one at one point as well...
They all seem to be advertised as the same. over £XXX thousand spend. bargain price of £XX
still, lucky man and nice work if you can get it! He was on a the same plane to Singapore with me last year. met by a rather attractive lady as the doors opened. needless to say, he didnt turn right when he boarded the plane!

Born June 1982, John Coffey has been packed in many expeditions and sailing events in his few years, from teenage years organising his College Team Racing team, to logistics and Boat Captain for an Irish Olympic team at Athens 2004.
A keen business man and International adventurer, John has been able to combine the two and travel to all seven continents over the last 4 years.
Having met Bear Grylls at the start of 2009, John was initially involved in the project management of the RIB build, but was swiftly appointment expedition manager by Bear thanks to John's keen eye for detail and dogged work ethic.
Never seen without his Blackberry, John is always looking for his next business opportunity or adventure.
John will not be joining the team on the RIB during the trip, but will be following the journey from close, taking care of all the logistics. He will also deliver the boat from Clyde River to its staring point in Pond Inlet, and collect it afterwards.
