looks to me like someone wanted a camel rib....

Richard B · 29 March 2004, 18:24

...but made do with a 5m (4m?) Searider! What a mess!

simmons0 · 29 March 2004, 18:28

If its real, may just be the brilliant blue colour but some bits just dont look right.

robin · 29 March 2004, 18:29

Thats the one off boatsandoutboards....the advert even says.....complete with camel trophy frame!!!!
remember...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But in these circumstances you can get it out with optrex.

Nice 5.4 Searider but what a way of spoilling it. The owner must have had a very bad day and got confused between his tent trailer and the Avon Searider. Sadly it is now the Searider which has to suffer the insults

Interesting

Daniel TD5 · 29 March 2004, 19:08

the price for that fine looking boat with added frame tent is 5k
just what i was looking to spend but you lot take the piss out of phils
4m avon searider with a 30 hp what would you say about that boat if a ribnet member had it

Manos · 29 March 2004, 19:12

I prefer this one though and is not a RIB

Daniel TD5 · 29 March 2004, 19:20

manos

i can only afford a boat that one comes with a crew

Manos · 29 March 2004, 19:21

Upss sorry Daniel, I thought that you may go for something ...... more upmarket with a multi colour umbrella too LOLOLOL

TIPS · 29 March 2004, 19:27

looks kinda gay........

barbarossa · 29 March 2004, 19:30

Ahahahhhhhhhhhhhh
I have the some ombrella !

Daniel TD5 · 29 March 2004, 19:31

the skipper as a nice hat

Manos · 30 March 2004, 04:12

However, although a binimi and a jacuzi on a boat are quite wellcome, I prefer this version of an open cruiser with this sat phone installation

No one is taking the p*** as you have put it. The Avon Searider 5.4 is a great rib and my first ever solo trips were done on that particular model which was fitted with a Mercury 75 ELPTO engine so I know what I am saying and for sure many forum members will agree with me

I am sure you will have great fun just get rid of that frame

Naaaah the frame makes it go faster is short of aerodynamic and with a tent on it (possibly an umbrella??) will use wind power too LOLOLOL

Is so funny, I'm sorry

Daniel TD5 · 30 March 2004, 09:50

i think the searider is a very good boat and the price would be
fine its just how could you have a boat like a searider and drill holes in it for a frame when it would be so much better without it
i though it looked very odd the colour did not help. i would think it would be a very unstable ride with the frame. its just a funny
pic sorry

Daniel TD5 · 30 March 2004, 16:49

sorry nw44 for puting a pic of your boat on rib net. but just think
how many people have now seen it
