Bombard 7.3m 2004 Model

[Nauti Buoy]

Hi, first time at this, anyway I have an Avon 5.6 Adventure at the moment with a 90hp Suzuki. I am looking at changing it for a 7.3m Bombard with a 200hp Honda 4 Stroke. The Bombard is a 2004 model and fully loaded with instruments and seating etc with a price difference of £2000. Does any one no any bad/good points ref the Bombard. If you do I would be interested to hear from you. Many thanks. Richard

Hello Niels,

I'll keep it in English.

I read about the bad handling of Bombard. Unfortunately (?) I recently bought one. Not a 720 but a 580 with a Yamaha F100. I was thinking of a Narwhal or Valiant but bought this one. Are they really that bad? The problem is that it's not easy to compare.

For I live in Limburg and here's not that much water I mostly use my boat during the summer holidays in Spain. Maybe I should sell it in august and look for another one. I can spend about euro 17.000. What is recommended.

P.S.: my wife prefers a normal seat

I'll go to Ribex next year the first time. Not by boat!!!

regards,

Stephan

I told you my Dutch is better than my English.

Hi, thanks for coming back, in the beginning of your message you put "I read about the bad handling", I was just wondering where you read that? so I might be able to look it up.

Thanks mate

Hi nauti buoy,

Niels was telling about the bad hull of the Bombard. But he talks about a Bombard 730. I have a 580 and hope that one is better.

What for...sake is a good rib (of about 5.80-6.00 m)

Die jij hebt is prima hoor alleen die 7.20 romp schijnt beroerd te zijn.
