Mercury Ocean Runner 350

[RossB]

Hi all,

Advice please looking at buying a Mercury Ocean Runner 350 with a Yamaha 30 4 stroke, all looks in good nick anyone had any experience of these ribs, I've had a 5M Humber and a Fletcher faro before looking at down sizing and returning back to the rib fold, but have never used such a wee rib(its 3.4m long 1.8m wide)....anyone have any experience of these???

Thanks in advance

I owned one for two years, it depends what you want to use it for, great for pottering around on rivers etc. The hull is very shallow so it's a very lumpy ride in anything but a dead calm sea. That said I took mine from calshot to Yarmouth. Also Poole to Lulworth cove. You could spend a whole day out on about £6 of fuel.

I thought they were only rated to take 25hp

Thanks for the replies guys, it will be used mainly on the Tay and Forth estuaries maybe with the occasional trip north to Loch Tay etc and a spot of fishing.

Does anyone know what the sea rating is A, B C or D? Cant go and see it until next week, also an idea of price for a good condition 1-2 year old with a 2 year old engine with around 30 hours on it

Thanks again for the replies
