Fake ribcraft

[RAZZER]

Just thought you should be aware of a RIB on e bay that is being passed off as a RIBCRAFT 7.8 and it is not one of our Hulls.
We Re-tubed the Boat about 3 Years ago so it may look like our RIB but is a 90 ies Chinook from memory.
I have contacted the seller and he is not interested in correcting the listing and fleebay are not really interested.
Buyer beware...

RIB 2008 7.8 M RIBCRAFT WITH 50K WORTH OF EXTRAS L@@K | eBay

razzer there was and advert on ebay saying that i had tubed a boat i contacted them explaing that it was fraud and against trade descriptions ect it was removed very quickly

"CON TROLLS" says it all really!

Says he has it advertised on boats and outboards too - they are very good at removing adverts that are false or scams.

There was an issue on there around 6 months ago with a pseudo Osprey by the name of "Time thief". I was speaking with Roy at Mannings Marine and he told me it was not an osprey and took on the issue from there.

Worth a call to North Wales Trading Standards?

I suspected it wasn't a Ribcraft when I saw the Osprey 'Ranger' console fitted.

I saw the advert and have placed a `Report item` notification to Ebay. My mate was nearly taken in for a moment until his friend said there was something not right about the way it looks.

Its a nightmare getting hold of Ebay I have e mailed them but they must have so manycomplaints it cannot be managable I will post up his reply when challenged. you will notice he has linked a youtube video which my computer savvy son posted a comment on the video saying it was not a Ribcraft and then he diabled comments on the page...
The sad thing is that someone will buy the RIB and contact us for support and then they will be really upset that they have bought a much older boat than claimed..by about 20 years

And oddly, from the listing, a couple of minutes after you posted :-

just spoke to slr marine services who had the rib put together the hull is bespoke hull purchased 2008 at 40k and then sent to rib-craft to be tubed in 2009 at a cost of £7500 and then sent to advanced to have the engine upgrade with a 2010 mercruiser bravo one this is a one off rib with all the extras i have receipts in excess of 100k this was a one off rib and for that reason i have now decided to keep the rib i don't want to bin it off for 15k sorry to the 176 watches . if still genunine interest ring me
