If you can find a 4.7SR Rogue Wave will be round on his hands and knees

Seriously, 4.7s are very rare, and infrequently come up. The 5.4's are plentiful with anything ranging from a full ready to go package with a recent motor at around £6.5k+ to around £500 for a bare hull in need of TLC. Keep an eye on ebay, boatsandoutboards.co.uk, and not to forget www.freeads.net www.adtrader.co.uk
good luck,

Alex

Hi Rugrat

I might know where there's one going cheap with an engine too.

I'll make some enquiries.

you guys are all so helpful!
by the way rogue wave might like to know there is a 4.6 hull on b&o at the moment for £900 maybe i should buy it and sell it to him for twice as much!!

ribraff,its not that sh*t one in the boatfloat is it?

Hi Rugrat

No, that's pretty much shot i reckon, this one belongs to one of the guy's who works for the harbour office, Scott, do you know him?

i might know him by name but i cant say ive met him face-to-face.
do you know where the searider is because im going into dartmouth this evening and if its on the industrial estate i might be able to have a peek
thanks
