Searider 4.2 refurb

Few pictures of my sea rider project, we went to play for the first time at the weekend and had a great time thanks for the help from people on here.
The transoms to heavy with the aux but on the theory of “if you take it you won’t need it” I wasn’t going to leave it in the car on the first trip just need to sort out mounting it in the bow

Look exellent; really nicely finished. Is that some sort of launching trolley you have on the trailer?

£1954 total with the VAT

That includes everything you see even had the drainer done and paddle holders
so you could cut £200 ish off that

Yep the trailer stays dry and the trolley is a bit like a dinghy trolley no bearings just bushes, it can be winched onto the road trailer with rollers so 1 man operation, I’ll put a better picture on later

I made the trailer up, have done a few for dinghies and one for a smallish racing yacht this is my first rib, I’m not happy with putting the trailer in the water and towing it home, So the launching trolley has a set of balloon tires to help with the sand mud on the slip and it slides onto the trailer using rollers mounted between the main beams, the trolley axle beam rests on two legs at the back of the trailer covered in pvc tube and is self locating.

Tows great too will sit at 75 all day or would if legal!!

I found a small local company who supplied the bits and pieces (wheels, suspension etc) then welded up the frames and sent them to the local galvanisers.

The supports for the hull are made from flat section steel shaped around the hull with 40 mm diameter tube fixed to the top and a smaller tube then pushed inside, spreading the load over a large area

your place or mine or North Wales, can you PM me a contact number.


Biggles Sea rider is very sorted in terms of the organisation and layout and also a lovely boat. It's about time there was a searider rally or a concours d'elegance for sea riders!
