Osprey Vipermax
A friend is evaluating Viper on Boats&Outboards

Anyone knowing this boat and its history ?

What do you think of her pricing ?

Nice Looking boat, not quite my taste when it comes to tube colour but you cant have everything can you

29,500 seems a fair price to me considering that boat, electronics and engine package would have cost at least £35,000 new and appears to be about 20 months old.

That may get the Osprey guys talking! I would have to say it would be up with the best of RIB's of it's size, but I have to agree that the tube colour would not be my cup of tea

It has gone down in price if it is the same rib. look in the ribs for sale on this forum and it is 25K now.

For sale by a member of this forum. ribster rache.

It is a nice rib. They took it around Angelsey and it went nice.

hope this helps
