RIbcraft at a sensible price ?

just trolling through "you know where" doing a little window shopping and this caught my eye:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rib-Craft-1998...QQcmdZViewItem

seems like a reasonable starting price for a generally good little boat...

apologies if posting a fleabay link is not the done thing. Feel free to flame at will...

I've been following this auction, have given the vendor a call and a friend went round to view it for me.

It's been used as a professional dive boat for the last season and is in pretty good condition for the age, although the engine doesn't have much history and unconfirmed hours. The reserve is A LOT higher than the starting price though.

Still thinking about whether to bid.

Did it sell in the end then?

Reserve was £8k, didn't think he was going to let it go for less than that.
