No problem at all mate, I was convinced it was an optimax and you can just see the graphics on the engine in the pic! Humbers are extremely well built and as you say by sorting the tubes and a-frame you will have a very capable boat.
Is the engine as mint as it looks?
Its great news that a RIBnet member has bought it, post some pics of the rebuild!

Best of luck

Alex

OPtimax

Yes the engine is in mint cond , not yet run it but will do b4 any further £ change hands , Outandabout a RIBNET members has a 7M and we loved it shame is his is a 175 so a bit faster , might just have to find some way of slowing him down .

RRP on new Opti 150 Saltwater is £10245, so well done!! Some new toobs and a bit of a clean and she will be sweet.

How many hrs on Opti?, says 30 on ad but then you say its not yet run in?? May be worth getting a system diagnostic/history test done on it?? You can check warranty details here also:

A sweet engine!! should push that humber along nicely!!

Well spotted Ads!!
